US Tech Jobs: 19.1% of Global Postings, Largest Single Market

The US accounts for 19.1% 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: 19.1% of 266,604 active postings (50,816 jobs). In patents, the US contributes 32.2% of the global index (115,511 of 359,178 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.
