Frequently asked questions

Does a skill percentage mean every employer requires it?

No. It is the share of analyzed listings that explicitly name the skill. Read each posting, then show examples only for skills you actually have.

What if a listing has no city?

174 of 717 analyzed listings have no city in our data. They are not assigned to a city in the chart; this does not establish whether remote work is possible.

Why can the open listings differ from the market figures?

The market figures come from an analysis dated 22 September 2026. The open listings are loaded from the current index and can change between visits.
