These figures use role observations, which may be newer than the Overview snapshot and may include an incomplete collection. Only records marked active are included, with likely evergreen listings excluded. Posting ages use employer-dated records; undated active records contribute to the count only.

These figures stay in place until the snapshot is refreshed and can include roles since marked removed. An incomplete collection can leave them behind newer role records. Snapshots can also contain partial updates, so the observation date is not a completion date.

These records update separately from the Overview snapshot and may include an incomplete collection. Counts can also differ because the snapshot's open-role count excludes likely evergreen listings and can retain roles since marked removed. Individual posting ages use employer-supplied dates only; records without one show “Date unavailable.”

Active role records, by age
These figures use OpenAI's records marked active, excluding likely evergreen listings. Undated records count as active but do not contribute to posting ages. Role observations may be incomplete; these are not hiring or time-to-fill measures.
Historical records by posting-date cutoff
Includes active and inactive records with employer posting dates on or after each cutoff, excluding likely evergreen listings. These are historical date totals, not current openings or first appearances. Dates have no upper cutoff, so future-dated records can be included.
Historical records by posting month
Active and inactive records grouped by employer posting month; undated and likely evergreen records are excluded. Muted bars predate tracking (July 23, 2026) and include only records later observed.
Recorded appearance and removal events
Events recorded by the tracker, grouped by event month. These are not posting-date totals or a count of current openings; one role can have multiple events. Reappearance events are not included in these totals. The event history may be incomplete.
