We update job postings data weekly – it will be ready on Wednesdays for the prior week, and we use Saturday-Friday as our week. Other job market data is updated monthly, and will be ready by the 10th of each month. Government data is updated as it is released.

Because we update data every week/month, counts may change from prior months if we discovered new postings, resumes, etc.

What are Challenges with Job Market Data?

  • No Deduping – some job postings are repeated across 10+ job boards
  • Stale and Undated Postings – no reliable posting date, or take down signal, and many jobs are posted for more than a year
  • Data is Not Normalized or Enriched – titles, companies and geos are inconsistently represented
  • No Lineage or History for Comparison – yesterday’s data is gone tomorrow
  • Manually uploaded data files don’t automatically refresh with new data
  • No audit trail on how the data was filtered, aged, mapped or transparency into original sources
  • Public AI agents have low data file upload size limits (e.g., 30-50 MB), which can limit analysis of large job market data sets. Additionally, some AI agents cannot generate sophisticated calculations (e.g., supply/demand) based on limited scraped Web data available. AI agents that rely solely on public scraped data are not able to find the most current, important and historical data for comparison/benchmarking and detailed analysis.

How is Public Insight Data Better?

There are many sources for job market data, but with millions of job postings and titles, data can be very messy. We enrich, normalize and clean data to ensure the highest quality. Here are our steps:

  • Curate job market data from the best sources and are continually evaluating new options and technical methods – then the hard work really starts.
  • Dedupe, clean, map (titles, occupations, companies and geo locations), and enrich from multiple sources as well as calculate KPIs and metrics unique to our clients’ markets to provide very detailed, current and comprehensive data and insights to inform decisions and fuel growth.
  • Automatically update this data every week/month.
  • Provide transparency in our sourcing and mapping and access the link to the original job posting, review or workforce profile.
  • Offer multiple data delivery options and enable customers to buy scoped datasets based on what they need now and adjust as needed in the future.

What are the Key Uses Cases for Job Market Data?

Our clients utilize our data for recruitment strategies, business development, competitive intelligence, employer reputation analysis, content creation, account management, career path guidance and higher ed outcomes. The top use cases are:
