Monthly research series
A frozen monthly view of where monitored data center employers are hiring, which roles they need and what their job advertisements say about pay.

A transparent snapshot of 1,341 live US data center jobs across 62 employers, including the leading states, roles, employers and advertised pay ranges.

Historical context
At the August freeze the database held 161 jobs carrying June 2026 posting dates, 324 carrying July dates and 780 carrying August dates. Those are useful posting cohorts, but they are not complete historical snapshots: monitoring began on August 21, so jobs that opened and closed before collection started are absent, and the earlier months shrink as their postings pass the board's 90-day age limit.
We will not present these counts as June-to-August market growth. Comparable trend reporting starts with the frozen August baseline.
Consistent method
Each edition records its exact UTC collection time and never changes its figures afterward.
Role mapping, salary exclusions and duplicate rules are documented and applied consistently.
Every issue reports employer coverage so expansion of the monitored set is not mistaken for market growth.
Aggregate counts and employer-stated pay samples download as CSV and are published under CC BY 4.0, so they can be republished with credit.
