Age counts days since the employer published the posting. Around a third of sources publish only a coarse date such as “30+ days ago”, so the older end of this distribution is less precise than the recent end. It is the most-cited signal that a role may not be actively filled — a signal, not a verdict.

How many jobs are open in Washington, D.C.?

The open-roles tile is the live count across every role we track in Washington, D.C..

What is the median salary in Washington, D.C.?

Shown above, computed only from postings that disclose pay.

Figures cover 38,550 postings collected from public company career pages and applicant tracking systems, last recomputed 2026-09-02. “Posted N days ago” counts from the date the employer published the listing, not from when we first saw it. A posting that has been up for months is a common sign it is not being actively filled — though a long-lived listing is a signal, not a verdict. How we measure this →
