What the numbers mean
- A new job is an advert first seen within 14 days of its posting date.
- Trends compare only employers we tracked throughout, so adding a new source never reads as hiring growth.
- Pay bands are our estimates; the share of adverts stating pay is an exact count.
The full methodology is on the job market pulse. If you need a breakdown we don't publish, email [email protected] and we will do our best.
