What Data Is Available?

When selecting a job role and location(s), you'll see a panel of external labor market insights, including:

• Supply and Demand
  Looking at the past 30 days, we show the estimated number of candidates, in the selected location, who match the job role, and the number of active job postings for the selected role and metro area. This reflects current market demand for that type of talent.

  You’ll also see the average job posting duration (i.e. how long postings for this role typically stay open). This is used as a proxy for how long it may take to fill the role.

• Compensation
  Looking at the past 12 months, we show the median advertised salary for the role and region.

  Beyond the median, you'll see the full salary range across postings, broken down by company—helping you calibrate competitive offers with confidence

  You'll also see which companies are actively posting for your target role, along with their posting volumes and advertised salary ranges. This helps you understand who you're competing against for talent and how your compensation stacks up.

  Compensation figures are derived from real-world job ads with disclosed salaries when available. 

How the Data Is Calculated

To keep the insights accurate and actionable, Beamery combines several large-scale datasets including:

• Public job postings scraped from thousands of sites
  This includes employer websites, job boards, and career portals. Postings are deduplicated and refreshed regularly.
• Online professional profiles and resumes
  Used to estimate candidate supply based on job titles, skills, and locations.
• Government labor statistics and surveys
  To supplement market-level trends and enhance geographic accuracy.

Salary Data

• Only postings with numeric salary information are included.
• If a range is given, the midpoint is used in calculations.
• All salaries are standardized to annual figures.
• Salary data reflects what was posted by employers at the time and is not adjusted for inflation.

Supply & Demand Ratio

To help estimate market competitiveness, we divide:

Candidate Supply (estimated number of qualified professionals) by Hiring Demand (number of active job postings)

This gives a directional view of how tight or saturated the market is for a given role.

Location Mapping

When a user selects a city or town, Beamery maps it to the nearest metropolitan area to ensure consistent labor market data.
