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.

Questions people ask

Which cities hire the most instructional designers?

The top locations chart above ranks cities by open postings for this role.

Is instructional designer a remote-friendly role?

The remote share tile shows what percentage of current openings are advertised as remote.

Figures cover 34,597 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 →
