How this is counted
- Open postings are the roles the API serves by default at the time of the snapshot: still open at the employer, not held back as a duplicate or an agency posting.
- Countries with fewer than 25 open postings are left out of the table (66 countries, 632 postings), because a share of so few is not meaningful. They are counted in the shares.
- 95,880 open postings have no country we can determine and are in no row or share.
- Employers is the number of distinct employers with at least one open posting in that country.
