How this was measured

JobShifu crawls employer applicant-tracking systems directly rather than buying a feed, so it sees a requisition disappear from a careers page and come back. A posting counts as relisted when the same requisition identifier was observed closed and later reopened; a second opening under a new identifier is a different job and is not counted.

Every row above cleared the reporting floor. Any figure resting on fewer than 25 postings, or spanning fewer than 5 employers, is reported as withheld rather than shown — at that size it describes one employer's hiring, not a market rate. Relist counts faster than a real requisition could turn over are excluded entirely; those come from instability in our own crawler, not from employers.
