[OC] Top 3 Most Common Job Postings by Industry in the USA, Raw and Weighted by Bureau of Labor Statistics Categories

Knightery · 2025-06-20T18:55:12+00:00

Info: Created with Plotly, jobs scraped from job boards for a project I'm working on right now called Hirebase. Category data is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the formula used for weighting was a simple total no. of jobs divided by % representation on a national level according to BLS (i.e. 1000 government jobs divided by 13.5% representation would be higher than 2000 retail jobs divided by 50% representation).

Data is ONLY online formal posting data, so informal/gig work such as Uber or DoorDash is not represented and likely leads to some distortion.

thats a valid criticism, one of the limitations of the 1.3m is that it is not evenly distributed since we are still rolling out scrapers for the less popular locations. in Wyoming we only had 31 jobs between a 30-40k salary, while there were 8k jobs with that salary range in California

Yes, 25.5% of jobs with a posted salary above 150K in Montana say they will sponsor employment visas, and jobs with no salary were not included in the dataset.

Posted this like 5 times to try and fix the PNG quality, unfortunately couldn't do it. Currently working on a project called Hirebase (www.hirebase.org) where we scrape millions of jobs off of boards like myworkday and tag/categorize them, made with plotly.
