Market Intelligence

Monthly Job Market Reports

Fit score distributions, top skills, salary transparency, and ghost job analysis. Aggregated monthly from thousands of postings scored across five job boards.

Most job market commentary is a survey of what people say. These reports measure what postings actually contain. Every month, the scoring pipeline processes thousands of listings from JSearch, Remotive, Adzuna, and Wellfound, scores each one against real candidate profiles, and rolls the results into a snapshot: how fit scores distributed, which skills employers demanded at which depth, where candidates fell short, and what roles paid when the salary was disclosed.

The numbers connect to the rest of the site. Skill rankings link into the Skill Demand Index, salary tables into the salary benchmarks, and ghost-rate figures into the ghost job checker. Reports publish in the first week of each month and stay archived here.
