Methodology
How we built this
The CozyJobs Report is generated from the live listings on cozyjobs.com — 240,196 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.
