§ 02 — Story angles we'll go on the record for
  • Salary
    Pay-transparency adoption.

    Quarterly numbers on the share of US listings that include a base-salary range, broken down by state-mandated vs. voluntary disclosure. Updated each Monday.

  • Remote
    "Remote-but-not-tech."

    The growth of remote work outside the software industry — paralegal, instructional design, insurance underwriting, social work. Often overlooked; the desk has the receipts.

  • Trades
    The skilled-trades labor gap.

    HVAC, electrical, plumbing, ironworking. Posting volume by region, apprenticeship intake numbers, union vs. non-union pay distributions.

  • AI
    "New on the wire" job titles.

    Roles that didn't exist 90 days ago. We track first-appearance week and posting volume; useful as a leading indicator on AI-related labor shifts.

  • Federal
    Federal civilian hiring volumes.

    USAJOBS-sourced; broken out by GS grade and agency. Useful for stories about administration-driven workforce expansions or contractions.

  • Crypto
    The crypto labor market as its own beat.

    Comp-structure peculiarities (token grants, vesting), geographic concentration, and the gap between announced "crypto winter" sentiment and actual posting volume.

§ 04 — Methodology, in brief

Listings are sourced from partner career sites, ATS feeds, niche boards, and federal/state government portals. Each listing carries a partner identifier and a first-seen timestamp; deduplication is run on a (employer, title, location, posting-id) tuple at ingest. Pay ranges are extracted by a deterministic parser, not an LLM — we publish the parser's failure modes on request.

The Salary Index aggregates the median posted base for the 80 most-filled job titles, weighted by posting volume in the prior seven days. The index revises every Monday at 6 a.m. Eastern; revisions are published with a changelog. We will share the raw weekly extract under embargo for serious labor-desk reporting — write Tomás.

If you're a labor reporter and we don't have what you need, write us anyway. The desk is small, but the inbox is real, and we'd rather get the number to you than read a worse one tomorrow. — Renata Oduya, Communications
