Observation window
The period these figures cover, and therefore which class of claim they can support.
1 row in release 2026-08-07.11.
- Figures describe an observed sample of open postings, not the whole job market.
- Permitted claim class for this release: SNAPSHOT_ONLY.
Columns
- earliest_observation_at
- Start of the period these figures cover.
- latest_observation_at
- End of the period these figures cover.
- cohort_history_days
- Days of continuously comparable history behind these figures. Deliberately the shortest such run rather than the longest, so a series cannot appear to grow because coverage grew.
- permitted_claim_class
- The strongest kind of statement the data supports: SNAPSHOT_ONLY, MOVEMENT, YEAR_OVER_YEAR, or SEASONALITY. NOTHING_PUBLISHABLE means nothing has met the bar yet.
- claim_class_explanation
- The same rule stated for a reader.
- computed_at
- When this row was calculated, which is the release build time rather than when the underlying postings were observed. For the period observed, see earliest_observation_at and latest_observation_at in the observation window dataset.
