How we make this
Where the numbers come from, how pages are made and checked, and how to tell us about a mistake.
Where the numbers come from
- Job postings: open postings on employers' own career pages, collected by our software and counted once per posting. Search-service listings are not used for market figures.
- Official data: wages and unemployment from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, price levels from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, population from the Census Bureau, pay-law rules from each state's own site.
- Every page shows its source, and the methodology explains definitions and limits.
How pages are made
We use AI tools to help draft and check pages. Numbers come from our data files by script, not from a model's memory, and an automatic check stops a page when a figure cannot be traced to those files. A person approves what is published. Posts and guides are credited to Second Summit, and data work to Second Summit Research. We do not invent experts, quotes or testimonials.
What we do not claim
Posted pay is a listed range, not an offer. Posting counts are not vacancies. Examples that are not real are labelled. We make no promise about outcomes from using our tools.
Dates and corrections
Each page shows when it was last updated. If you find a mistake, write to support@secondsummit.ai with the page and the number. We fix real errors, say what changed, and update the date.
