How the index is measured
- Source: Every active, publicly listed job on the Pitchlo job board on Oct 5, 2026, excluding gifted-only listings (276 jobs).
- Pay: Pay is the listed minimum, or the maximum when no minimum is given, for USD-priced listings between $10 and $10,000 (243 of 276 jobs). The median is the middle listing, not an average.
- Niches: A niche shows a median only when it has at least 30 USD-priced jobs; smaller niches show a count only.
- Snapshot: Snapshot taken Oct 5, 2026 (Week 41, 2026). "Remote" means the listing's location says remote; "new this week" means posted in the 7 days before the snapshot; "brand-posted" means a brand posted the job on Pitchlo directly.
