What US tech employers are actually asking for

Every month we read 967,730 live US job postings straight from 82,954 employers’ own careers pages — not from a jobs aggregator, so nothing is counted twice — and publish what they ask for: the skills, the years of experience, the pay where it is stated, and how many roles are genuinely open to someone starting out.

Free to read and to cite. Where the data is too thin to support a number, we say so instead of publishing one, and every limitation we know about is written down — including the ones that make our numbers look worse.
