Job Market Pulse

Job Market Pulse — June 2026

Data retrieved June 13, 2026 UTC · first edition (baseline)

A dated snapshot of the job postings dataset behind the API — read first-party from 13 applicant tracking systems, normalized into one schema. This is the baseline edition, so it carries no month-over-month comparison; future editions will. Free to read, free to cite.

The numbers

Active postings

271,277

Hiring companies

Salary disclosed

Remote share

23.5%

Where the jobs are

The eight largest role categories by active postings, each a queryable filter on the API.

The top eight categories hold 152,461 postings — 56.2% of all 271,277 active listings — so most hiring in the dataset clusters in a short head of role types. Software Engineering leads on its own at 31,633 postings, 11.7% of the total.

Remote availability splits sharply by category rather than tracking volume. Sales & Account Management (39.7%) and Software Engineering (37.5%) run well above the dataset-wide remote share, while Hospitality & Retail (2.8%) and Skilled Trades & Field Roles (5.1%) are nearly entirely on-site — consistent with work that cannot be done away from a location.

Top 10 countries: United States (123,005) · United Kingdom (19,599) · France (12,548) · Germany (12,404) · Canada (10,290) · India (8,010) · The Netherlands (6,338) · Spain (4,205) · Australia (4,140) · Brazil (3,324)

Seniority & remote

Active postings by normalized seniority level across the whole dataset.

junior
56,613
mid
35,955
senior
78,743

Seniority is normalized from each posting's title and any level the employer supplies, so it is a best-effort read rather than a declared field. 99,966 postings — 36.9% of the total — carry no level that resolves to junior, mid, or senior, and are not counted in the bars above.

Among the 171,311 postings that do map to a level, senior roles are the largest bucket at 46.0%, ahead of junior and mid. Read the bars as the shape of the resolved population, not of all hiring; the unbucketed share is large enough that the absolute counts matter more than the ratios.

Pay transparency

32.8% of active postings disclose a salary. The figure reflects only what employers actually publish — salary is never inferred or estimated — so it is a floor on real pay transparency, not a model of it.

This is a single dataset-wide rate. The breakdown does not carry disclosure per category, so this edition reports the global number only and makes no per-category claim. Future editions will track how the rate moves month over month.
