New Google Search UI

Technically, Google maybe making server side changes to enrol the new feature in batches. That said, the feature may go official in coming days or weeks for all the residents of the US. 

Google for Jobs helps the citizens of the country to get a job quickly as the owners of a store can list the vacant job positions in Google Search itself. It also takes data from various third-party sites to list the vacant sites.
