More about this figure
The taxonomy is Textkernel's SCO, which is not SOC. These are the share of each occupation's adverts in 2025 that mentioned this requirement. A share is not a count of jobs and not a measure of demand: an occupation can appear here because it names this requirement consistently, not because it is hiring. 2025 is not yet covered in full.
