Methodology

How this page is calculated

The analysis covers 2,390 deduplicated descriptions dated between Jul 24, 2026 and Oct 22, 2026. The window uses each source's available publication or last-updated date and includes six Data & AI role families.

Dataaxy assigns each job to one role family, then checks its title and description against its technical skill vocabulary and aliases. A skill counts once per description.

These figures describe the jobs observed by Dataaxy. They do not represent every job in the global market, and a mention is not proof that a skill is required.
