Methodology

Skills are extracted from job posting descriptions using AI and stored as structured data. The "Current" count reflects mentions across active postings discovered in the last 30 days. The "Previous" count reflects the 30-day period before that. A skill is marked as "Rising" if current mentions exceed previous by more than 10%, and "Falling" if they are more than 10% lower.
