Source IT Jobs Watch, whose statistics are licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
Counts are live job adverts, not open vacancies - duplicates, agency reposts and slow-to-expire listings all inflate them. Read the bars as a demand signal, not a census. Rank is IT Jobs Watch’s demand rank across all IT skills (lower = more in demand); the median is the advertised salary median over the past six months.
