How this was computed
Counts derive from the Skillenai jobs index over the 90 days ending 2026-10-02, matching postings whose canonical role is “Technical Program Manager”. Pages refresh weekly (or daily for the top-50 most-posted roles). Adjusted posting share: 1.1% to 1.0%. Demand share change is the relative percentage change between these adjusted shares. Each employer-and-ATS group has at least 10 postings in each 90-day window; its earlier posting count supplies the same weight in both windows. The panel includes 2,593 identified employers and covers 68% of earlier and 72% of latest indexed postings. Windows: 2026-06-02 to 2026-08-31 and 2026-06-30 to 2026-09-28 (UTC; end dates excluded). The windows overlap by 62 days. Dates reflect indexing, not the employer’s posting date. This measures posting mix, not total hiring or market-wide demand. Matching excludes entrants and exits; changes in crawl completeness within an employer or ATS can still affect the result.
