QA Job Market Trends

What This Page Measures

- Posting recency, country distribution, and remote/on-site mix derived from job details.

How To Use This Data

- Use country and remote mix trends to focus on markets with stronger current representation.
- Combine this with salary and skills pages to choose the best-fit niches and search presets.
Methodology
- Source: currently open jobs in QATestingJobs.com (open jobs only).
- Data is aggregated server-side and cached with ISR refresh (daily cadence).
- Percentages are calculated against the current open-job total.
Limitations
- This page reflects trends in QATJ’s current open-job index, not the entire global QA labor market.
- Metadata quality depends on job source formatting and normalization coverage.
- Monthly counts reflect currently open postings, not a complete historical archive of all postings ever seen.
