Method and citation
Compiled from every job advertisement SkillzDunya published in October 2026. Each is sourced from an official newspaper advertisement or a government portal and recorded with its organization, cities, qualifications, pay grade and vacancy count.
Advertisement counts are of distinct advertisements; a single advertisement usually carries several posts across more than one city, so province and city counts overlap and do not sum to the total. Vacancy counts are the figures stated in the advertisements themselves.
