- Why does FACTANKER count positions instead of job ads?
- Many employers re-post the same position under a new ad every few weeks; counting ads would overstate hiring. A position is one employer, title and city.
- Does an ended job position mean it was filled?
- No. An ended position was open at the start of the week and is no longer listed; it may have been filled, withdrawn or paused.

How this is counted. FACTANKER reads the public job boards of 224 employers every day. A position is one employer, job title and city. Many employers re-post the same position under a new ad every few weeks; counting ads would show growth that is not there. A position is new when that combination appears for the first time, and ended when it was open at the start of the week and is no longer listed. An ended position may have been filled, withdrawn or paused — the record cannot tell which.

Which employers does the FACTANKER Hiring Monitor cover, and what does it not show (week of October 19–25, 2026)?
224 employers, mostly U.S.-listed companies whose job boards run on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or SmartRecruiters, observed daily since September 1, 2026. Employers using other job-board systems, including many large retailers and restaurant chains, are being added; until then the monitor is not a picture of the whole U.S. labour market. Official benchmarks for that are BLS job openings, unemployment by county and wages by occupation, linked from every company page. Every employer has a page with its open positions: jobs hub.
