Careers · counted, not surveyed

What 384,808 open jobs say about 32 careers.

Every number on this page is a count of real postings on employers’ own job boards, refreshed every night — at every level, from intern to principal. No survey, no estimate, no quiz. Whether you are choosing a career, changing one, or checking your own.

Pay is the median of bands employers posted, only where eight or more did. Entry level means a posting titled junior or intern, or one that asks for a year or less and is not titled senior — 46,569 of these are; about 243,413 state no level at all, and are counted in the open roles but not at any level.
