How this was counted
Every figure is counted from 57 open postings read from employers’ own job boards on November 8, 2026, and recounted every night. Pay is the band the employer posted — never an estimate, never a model — and 51 of these postings carried one. Titles are grouped by the words the postings use, with levels, shifts and schedules removed, so “Senior General Merchandise Team Leader (Nights)” counts here too. 100% of roles with this title sit in retail, which is why this page belongs to that career. A title gets a page only where twenty-five or more roles are open, eight or more of them posted a band, three or more employers are hiring for it and four in five of its postings sit in one career, so no page here is a guess.
