A new weekly report is generated every week, plus a monthly recap on the first of each month — each compared against the prior period so trends reflect real movement.

Remote roles made up 12% of new listings this week, down from 14% the week before.
Where does the data come from?
Every figure is computed from the 204,069 active jobs and opportunities listed on cozyjobs.com, de-duplicated by company and role. Nothing in the report is sponsored or paid placement.
Methodology
How we built this
The CozyJobs Report is generated from the live listings on cozyjobs.com — 204,069 active jobs and opportunities across writing, tech, marketing, design, media, science, and more. We measure change this week against the prior period. “Trending” reflects the change in the number of active postings, de-duplicated by company and role. Pay figures use only listings that publicly disclose compensation. Nothing here is sponsored — it’s simply what’s moving through the board.
