Method
- Open listings whose posting we read for pay: a range stated in the employer's own listing counts as posted; an estimate does not. Countries and roles with fewer than 50 checked listings are left out.
- Country is where the listing is tied to; remote roles open worldwide are in the totals but in no country row.
