Why the Suffern column is empty. Lightcast publishes job postings and hires at county level and above only. Suffern here is a list of 200 ZIP codes, so its Demand section is suppressed. No radius or ZIP-based query will return it. Bergen, Rockland and Morris are counties, which is why they fill in.
