How these counts are made

  • Source: the roles RoleWeek lists as posted in the last 7 days, straight from employers’ own hiring systems. A role counts for a skill when that skill is one of the up to five technologies RoleWeek read in the posting’s title and description (the title first, then the most mentioned). A role that names a skill once among many tools may not list it, so these count the roles that list the skill, not all the roles that touch it.
  • Names are matched exactly: Java is not JavaScript, C++ and C# are not C and not each other, Go is the language (never “go-to-market”) and R is the language. A posting that names a vendor only as its own employer, an investor or a customer does not count for that vendor’s product.
  • One role is one card: an opening listed for several places counts once on a page. A role listed in several cities counts on each city’s page.
  • A skill has a page when 15 or more roles list it, and a city page when 15 or more do there and it is not the same set of roles as the skill’s own page. Practices that are not one technology (CI/CD, Git, microservices, networking) have none.
  • Salaries are only what employers posted, summarised by the rules of the salary pages: yearly ranges only, one currency per page, a median shown with 15 or more roles. The numbers are rebuilt every day.
