Frequently asked
Where do these numbers come from?
Each is measured in this edition's full pass — every crawled record, not a sample — by the same scripts that build /report and /data. The index behind it holds 8,119,317 postings in total; the sample size is printed with each figure.
Why do some figures show a different n?
Two samples are used: the report pipeline (listing age and text measures) and our crawl archive (pub×seen signals). Each row states which one applies.
Can I reuse these numbers?
Yes — the data is CC BY 4.0. Cite as: DeUnemployment, “Key figures”, https://deunemployment.com/data/key-figures.

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 October 2026 edition (full pass, measured 2026-10-06); the index counts are rebuilt by every nightly update, most recently 2026-11-06. Page generated 2026-11-06.
