Methodology and data dictionary

Source: public Hacker News Who is Hiring top-level comments. Demand means share of classified hiring posts in this corpus, not the whole labor market and not confirmed hires. Raw comment text is stored privately for reproducible parsing, but public exports contain derived fields, HN IDs where relevant, and source URLs only.

Sample gates: hide salary medians below 20 salary observations, keep weak change claims marked as insufficient sample, and show counts next to every table. The taxonomy and parser versions are included in every export row.
