Open jobs are current; salary evidence covers the past 12 months and also uses closed postings. Every place rolls up through its canonical city, region, country, and continent hierarchy exactly once.

How to read this analysis. Opportunity history uses first and last observation dates. Salary evidence includes open and closed jobs in the selected history window, uses the exchange rate from each observation date, and is shown whenever at least one estimate is available. Small samples can move sharply, so the salary and employer counts provide important context.
