Measured, side by side

Both boards read continuously over a rolling 30-day window. The bolded figure in each row is the stronger of the two for a job seeker — on description completeness and ghost rate, lower is better.

Genuinely location-free 0.2% 86.1%

Why the two pay columns differ

"Pay info in the listing" asks whether the salary appears anywhere in the posting. "In a field a machine can read" asks whether it sits somewhere a filter can reach. Where those diverge, the board has the number and buries it in prose — you can find it, but only by opening every listing.

We publish both because quoting only the parsed figure would report our own extraction limits as the board's failing.
