Order: open roles, highest first, then the country name. Country names link to the list of roles that name the country.
How we count
- A role counts for a country when its posting names that country or says it is open worldwide. A role whose posting names no country counts for none.
- Some platforms post one role once per country. Such a role counts once in each country and once in the total of roles.
- A worldwide role does not count for a country where its platform says it cannot hire, the same rule the job finder uses.
- A country enters the index when at least 20 open roles name it directly. Worldwide roles count for every country and so cannot tell countries apart. 75 countries reach 20 in this edition.
- Median hourly rate: the rule of the AI Training Pay Index. Each role counts once, at the midpoint of its listed hourly range in USD; pay per task, yearly salaries, other currencies and platform-wide ranges are left out. A median needs at least 5 rates, the Pay Index minimum. Below that the row shows how many rates there are and "small sample".
- Platforms with the most roles: the three with the most open roles for that country, with the number of roles. A tie goes to the name.
- Listed pay is what a posting offers. Hours, task speed and reviews change what people earn.
A new edition comes out on the first business day of each month, with the figures of that day. Past editions stay as they were published.
