How we count

Every figure is counted from the live job adverts on Vocatia, which we collect from UK job boards and employers every day. Each advert is tagged by what it describes: sitting or standing, indoors or outdoors, on your own or with people, and so on. The figures update every day as jobs are added and closed.

Tags describe what the advert says and can occasionally be wrong. These are figures about job adverts on Vocatia, not about everyone in work. Pay figures use advertised annual salaries only.
