Methodology

  • Source. Public job postings collected continuously by DevSnipe from Upwork, Skool, LinkedIn, Indeed, and Freelancer. Counts are of postings collected, not of distinct hiring companies.
  • Window. A rolling 7 days, bucketed by UTC day. A posting is dated by when the platform says it was posted, falling back to when DevSnipe first saw it.
  • Category shares. Calculated over the 2,681 postings classified into an approved category, not over all 11,125 collected. Classification lags collection, so the two numbers differ and the smaller one is the honest denominator.
  • Zeroes are real. A zero in the trend chart means no postings that day for that category, never missing data.
  • Refresh. Recalculated hourly. Last updated September 9, 2026 at 8:02 PM UTC.
  • Reuse. Published under CC BY 4.0. Cite as "DevSnipe AI Automation Job Market Report" with a link to this page.
