About these guides.

Where does the data on these pages come from?

Each guide starts with one Indeed search for the job title, run on the date shown on that guide (Oct 7, Oct 11, Oct 19 or Oct 20, 2026). We take the ten postings it returns, read three or four of them in full, and count how many ask for each skill. Pay and titles are shown exactly as the employers listed them.

Is this the whole job market?

No. It is a small, fresh sample, which is why we show the counts and the date instead of percentages for the whole country. It is meant to show you what real postings sound like this week.

How often are the guides updated?

We plan to refresh the posting data weekly. Each page shows the date its sample was pulled, so you always know how fresh it is.
