How published inventory changed

The highest observed daily close was 67 listings on 2026-08-09; the lowest was 39 on 2026-08-06. A listing contributes to each day it remains published, so daily counts should not be added to estimate unique jobs.

What the figures tell us

The directory recorded 33 publication or reopening events and 21 closure or expiry events during the whole month. A closure means a listing stopped being published; it does not establish that a hire was made.

At month end, 3 of 53 listings were classified as contract or fractional work, and 50 as salaried or permanent. Employer coverage moved from 20 to 31 companies with published roles.

These changes can reflect listing closures, editorial checks and changes in monitored sources. We cannot attribute them to a change in economy-wide hiring demand.

Coverage and limits

This edition uses reporting definition 1. It counts records marked published at each daily close, including listings temporarily withheld by quality checks. The current live directory can use stricter visibility rules. The data covers a monitored sample of employers rather than every remote opening.

The download includes legacy structured pay coverage: the share with numeric pay, currency and pay period recorded. It measures how much structured pay data we held, not how many employers disclosed pay. Original pay wording was not retained consistently in this period, so this report makes no historical salary or pay-transparency trend claims.

Daily observations

Los Angeles calendar days. Publication events cover the whole day; the headline compares the first and last daily closes.
