US Tech Jobs: 21.0% of Global Postings, Largest Single Market

The US accounts for 21.0% of all monitored global tech job postings — a dominance unmatched by any other single country.

Why it matters

The US maintains the largest individual share of tech jobs in the current dataset: 21.0% of 185,704 active postings (38,906 jobs). In patents, the US contributes 28.4% of the global index (94,006 of 331,070 patents). Note: Funding dataset coverage is heavily US-centric (Crunchbase/YC free tier) and cannot be used for global funding comparisons. For a full macro view, see /panorama.

Counter-signals

  • China, Índia e outros grandes mercados podem ter ecossistemas paralelos não capturados(market)

Evidence
