ListView.builder returns Null check operator used on a null value - flutter

Question

I'm developing a job search app that scrapes data from Indeed using Python which is being sent back to my Flutter UI as JSON data. The JSON data is being received successfully, however, Im getting an error of Null check operator used on a null value. The error appears to be stemming from the _jobSearch widget.
The relevant error-causing widget was ListView lib/ui/home_page.dart:256
Exception caught by scheduler library
Null check operator used on a null value
Here is the code:

import 'package:flutter_job_portal/ui/bottom_menu_bar.dart';
import 'package:flutter_job_portal/ui/job_detail_page.dart';
String job = ""; //user's response will be assigned to this variable
String final_response = "";
final _formkey = GlobalKey<FormState>(); //key created to interact with the form
//function to validate and save user form
Future<void> _savingData() async {
final validation = _formkey.currentState.validate();
if (!validation) {
return;
}
_formkey.currentState.save();
}
Future<List<Job>> _getJobs() async {
final url = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/job';
final response1 = await http.post(Uri.parse(url), body: json.encode({'job': job}));
final response2 = await http.get(Uri.parse(url));
final decoded = json.decode(response2.body);
List<Job> jobs = [];
