Methodology

Figures are computed directly from job listings published on ProductJobs.io during 2026 Q3. Posting counts reflect our aggregation coverage during the period, not total market volume; month-over-month changes can reflect coverage changes as well as market movement. Salary statistics use yearly USD ranges as stated by employers (midpoint of min–max), n=1220 listings with disclosed salary. Skill demand counts distinct listings per tag. Work-arrangement classes derive from listing text; unclassified listings count as on-site. This report may be cited with attribution and a link to this page.
