About this data
Sample of US job postings across the stratified city roster (10 metros, weekly) + public ATS boards (Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby, tech-skewed). Only roster cities are published; opportunistic ATS locations are excluded. Share denominator = unique postings of the week mapped to tracked professions; postings without a SOC mapping are excluded. Dedup by (source, source_job_id). n = unique postings per week (provenance, not a market census). A SOC shared by two professions (e.g. paralegal/legal-assistant) appears in both. LLM signals are never a data source — classification is cache-first parsing (ADR-007).
