How large a sample do I need?

Thousands of jobs per week usually beat a few hundred for trend stability. Start narrow by role, then widen.

Can I compare industries?

Yes. Tag companies or use industry keywords in separate search buckets, then compare time series.

How do I handle reposted jobs?

Dedupe on job ID and ignore near-identical titles from the same company within a short window.

Does this replace government labor stats?

No. It complements them with higher-frequency, role-specific signals from public postings.

Listings are a real-time labor signal

Posted roles show what employers are willing to hire for today — not what they claimed in last year’s report. Aggregating titles, skills, and locations over weeks reveals demand waves early.

Skills and keyword demand curves

Parse descriptions for tool names, certifications, and soft-skill phrases. Count weekly mentions to see which stacks are rising. Product teams and bootcamps use the same method to prioritize curricula.

Geography and remote mix

Track on-site vs hybrid vs remote share by role family. A sudden tilt toward on-site in a metro, or remote-friendly growth in another, changes recruiting strategy and compensation banding.

Publishing trend views stakeholders use

Ship a simple dashboard: new jobs per week, top titles, top skills, and top cities. Automate the scrape so analysts spend time interpreting, not collecting.
