Most hiring commentary is vibes. We happen to be sitting on a continuously refreshed index of open roles pulled from employer systems, so we can answer some of these questions directly instead of guessing.
The stats pages show the shape of what we have collected: distribution by location, by company, by role type, and how that has changed. It is a view of our index, which is a large sample rather than the whole market, and the pages say so.
It is worth ten minutes before you decide which titles to target or which market to search in.

From real postings
Every figure traces back to postings collected from employer feeds.
Open to everyone
No account required. Nothing gated.
Honest about scope
Each page states what it is measuring and what it is not.
