About this data
Counts come from public job boards and company applicant tracking systems, covering postings seen in the last 30 days. Coverage is North America heavy. Levels are classified from posting titles and skills are counted from posting text against a fixed list. Companies with more than 25 active postings often repost the same role many times, so all of their postings in a category together count as 5, and they are listed separately. This page is updated monthly.
