Real estate agent: One employer accounts for a large share of these postings.
Pay is the median advertised range of postings that state pay. Work mode and education are of postings that state them. Postings read and employers are sample sizes for this role this month: they are not a count of US jobs or employers, and we never compare them across months. A dash means we do not publish that figure this month. Roles with fewer postings are left out.

Each level shows the median bottom to top of the advertised range, of postings that state pay. Beneath it are the median middle, then how many postings at that level state pay and the median minimum years asked. These are advertised ranges, which can differ from what people end up earning. Education stated is the share of postings that mention education, and bachelor's or more is of those. A dash means we do not publish that figure this month.

US postings only, from the career sites of employers we crawl, first seen October 1 to 31, 2026. This is not all US jobs: we read employers with an online career site, which leans toward tech and toward mid-size and large companies, and we keep adding employers. So we report pay and shares, and a posting count is only a sample size. Role, level, work mode and education are read from each posting by our AI and were checked against the postings on a sample of 1,049: role 96% right, level 94%, work mode 85%, education 98%, years 99%. Skills are read the same way and have had a lighter check: a second model, on 108 postings, found 96% named in the posting and 87% really skills. Visa sponsorship is read the same way and was checked against the postings: 129 of 150 that our AI counted as sponsoring say so, and most of the others only accept people who already hold a visa. Of 3,350 postings it did not count that mention a visa, 3 say they sponsor. So the visa shares run a little high.
