How we counted

Seniority is the level a posting asks for (expert: a professional in the field, often with a degree or licence). Roles that don't say are left out of the seniority table. Every figure is worked out from the open roles listed on aitrainers.jobs, re-checked hourly against each platform's own job board, and updates with them.
