About this data
Data: Jobfinder AI's live index of 208,000 jobs from employer career sites, updated daily. This report is based on 16,277 job postings live in the US with a stated level ("senior or above" means senior, lead, director or VP), from employer career sites and job boards that Jobfinder AI tracks, as of 2026-11-09. Market is taken from the posting's location; role group and seniority are classified automatically from each posting. A posting counts as remote when the employer marks it remote.
