Method. Wage figures come from job postings Drive Your Career collects and checks by hand, refreshed about hourly as postings are added. They describe advertised pay, not what people are paid. Groups with fewer than 5 postings are not shown, and no employer or posting is identified. Open-role counts are from active public job ads on Drive Your Career as of November 3, 2026. This is a snapshot, not a labour-market survey.
