Methodology

Generated by paginating the public /api/v1/jobs endpoint and bucketing each job's location field by substring match against 28 curated city/region patterns. location is employer-advertised free text; this paper does not filter for permanent residency, visa status, or remote eligibility. Salary averages are midpoints of disclosed salary_min / salary_max bands, restricted to jobs with a disclosure. The /api/v1/stats endpoint does not currently expose a locations array; this dataset reconstructs it.
