Daily snapshot, September 20, 2026

A permanent archive of the observed tracked sample: postings tracked, recycled postings, boards, scores, industries, titles and requirement shares — data as of Sep 20, 2026. Every figure is an observed sample of the 23,510 postings we track; we never estimate the whole market.

Compiled Sep 20, 2026

This page is a permanent archive — it never changes after it is written, so the numbers here are exactly what the tracker observed for September 20, 2026. See the reports index for every archived period.

A posting is "removed" when our last check of it returned gone. "Relisted" means we observed it taken down and later reappearing.

"web" = postings tracked directly on a company career page. We track Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever boards plus company career pages. LinkedIn and Indeed restrict automated access and are not tracked, and Workable careers pages expose no parseable public board (verified 2026-08-15), so Workable is not tracked either.

Scores were recomputed at compile time for all currently-live tracked postings (higher = fewer ghost signals). A posting's score can change as it is watched longer.

6 · Education & experience requirements

Requirement shares as of —, over the 15,136 postings whose description we could read — never over all postings.

Require a bachelor's degree

703 of 15,136 read descriptions

Require 5+ years of experience

33.7%

5,103 of 15,136 read descriptions

Requirement shares are computed over the live tracked postings whose description was actually read this cycle (descriptionPresent=true). A posting whose page could not be read is counted under fetch errors / not-yet-extracted — never as a zero.

8 · Provenance

Daily snapshot of the observed tracked sample (all dates UTC). Ghost-job metrics and score buckets are computed at compile time from stored observations; the score distribution is recomputed for all currently-live tracked postings.

  • Every number is an observed sample: of the 23,510 postings we track. We never claim these figures describe all job postings.
  • Companies appear only as a count (233 distinct companies in this sample). Everything we track per company is public on its company page.
  • This archive is permanent: the page and its numbers never change after the period is written. Future periods get their own archive pages.
