About this page
Wellington postings are extracted from monthly HN Who's Hiring? threads using location string matching against a curated city dictionary.
Caveats
- ·Trust annual totals over single months — monthly counts can be small, and partial years (hatched) cover only part of the calendar.
- ·Compensation bands use a trailing 3-year window; levels appear only when n ≥ 10.
- ·Comparisons against the NZ baseline use the same time window on both sides — trailing 12 months for work model, the past 3 years for role mix.
