How these lists are made
- Every job on this page is in the United States, taken from the employer’s own career site or job system and checked to still be open.
- A job is counted in nonprofit when its employer is on our list of nonprofit employers, or its title names nonprofit work. A job can sit in more than one segment.
- Pay figures use only jobs that state a yearly salary range in dollars; the figure is the middle of the range, and the median is across jobs. A pay list is shown only when enough jobs state pay.
- The same employer under different spellings is counted once. A city where one employer posts half the openings is not ranked.
- Lists are rebuilt weekly from our job board and kept by month. Professional and management roles; hourly roles are not on our board.
