Weekly rollup, Week of September 21, 2026

A permanent archive of the observed tracked sample: postings tracked, recycled postings, boards, scores, industries, titles and requirement shares — data as of Sep 26, 2026. Every figure is an observed sample of the 23,510 postings we track; we never estimate the whole market.

Compiled Sep 26, 2026 · 6 daily snapshots in this week (Sep 21, 2026 → Sep 26, 2026, UTC)

This page is a permanent archive — it never changes after it is written, so the numbers here are exactly what the tracker observed for Week of September 21, 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.

6 · Education & experience requirements

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

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

Rollup of 6 daily snapshots (2026-09-21 → 2026-09-26, UTC) into week 2026-W39. Level figures (postings, boards, scores, requirements) are as of the latest daily snapshot in the period (2026-09-26); industry and title counts are summed across the period's daily snapshots, so a posting visible all period contributes once per daily snapshot. Trend rows compare against the previous week.

  • 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.
