Where these numbers come from
How we turn public job postings into the results on this page
1 · Start with trusted skill lists
We use the public O*NET 30.3 database and Corvi Careers' reviewed skill definitions. O*NET content is available under CC BY 4.0.
2 · Analyze job postings
We analyze collected job postings before publishing this report. A skill counts once per posting when its name or a reviewed variation appears. Country results use the posting’s resolved locations; remote or multi-country postings may count in each applicable country.
3 · Show only useful comparisons
We compare the percentage of postings that contain each skill. We leave out results with too little data. The findings describe job postings; they do not prove cause and effect.
