How these numbers are made

Counting unit: a posting is one role. Repeat requisitions from the same employer with the same title and the same location (city, state or province, country, and remote or not) count once, using the newest one. Counted over open, de-duplicated postings with a description (11,714), once per posting; the 342 AWS postings stand for 356 requisitions. Every share, median and pairing below uses postings, not requisitions. A posting counts as asking for AWS when its description matches: uppercase 'AWS', or 'Amazon Web Services'. A skill is never counted for its own employer's postings. Shares show their N and denominator: 2.9% (342 of 11,714).

Pay compares hourly US-dollar pay (weekly, monthly and yearly pay converted, ranges at their midpoint), only for postings that publish it: 103 AWS postings against 4377 postings overall. Medians, not averages.
