Most postings never say. When they do, the picture is blunt: explicitly entry-level roles are rare, and close to one posting in five asks for a degree or a licence. We measure the language of the posting — not what the employer privately means.
| Measure | ||
|---|---|---|
| Marked explicitly entry-level | 2.8% | entry / graduate / trainee language |
| Entry-level, of postings that state experience | 22% | the rest ask for more |
| State years of experience | 12.9% | the rest stay silent |
| Require a degree or licence | 18.3% | credential language detected |
| Junior / mid / senior in the title | 10.1 / 78.1 / 11.9% | seniority read from the title |
We can only count what a posting says, and many roles open to beginners never label themselves that way. So 2.8% is a floor, not the whole market — and even among postings that do state experience, entry-level demands are 22%.
By language: degree, diploma, licence, certification. It is a detector, not a judgement — a posting can imply a requirement without stating it, and our count will miss that.
That is not what this measures. It measures what postings ask for. The seniority mix read from titles is flat: 10.1% junior, 78.1% mid, 11.9% senior.
Need a different cut? Every figure on this page comes from one index, so we can extract almost any slice on request — a city, a role, an industry, a time window, or a comparison between platforms. Tell us what you need at [email protected] and we will pull it, publish it with its method, and hand you the numbers. All we ask in return is a citation.
“Still listed” is a listing-age measure from the source publish date, not a verification that a role is open; link liveness is measured separately. The percentages are the September 2026 edition (full pass, measured 2026-09-15); the index counts are rebuilt by every nightly update, most recently 2026-09-20. Page generated 2026-09-21.
