[Available on request - book a demo](https://jobspipe.dev/book) ### Skills: top and trending The skills employers ask for per occupation, and which are growing month over month. [Available on request - book a demo](https://jobspipe.dev/book) ### Industry trends Demand and trending skills by ISIC industry division. [Available on request - book a demo](https://jobspipe.dev/book) ### AI exposure The share of postings mentioning AI tooling per occupation or industry, with the advertised-pay premium between AI and non-AI roles. [Available on request - book a demo](https://jobspipe.dev/book) ### Built to be trusted, not just quoted Every benchmark carries its sample size and a confidence grade. Cells below the minimum sample threshold are suppressed. The salary disclosure rate of the corpus is published, not hidden. ## How this differs from the incumbents The reference vendors in this category are excellent and expensive: enterprise contracts, sales cycles, and salary models that blend postings with government survey data. JobsPipe Insights is the self-serve tier of the same market: postings-only methodology, transparent sample sizes, and a salary benchmark API with pricing that starts at free. If you need decade-deep history or modeled compensation, buy the incumbent. If you need advertised-pay benchmarks your team can query this afternoon, start here - and book a demo for the occupation, industry and skill breakdowns. ## FAQ ### Is the salary data from surveys? No. Every number is computed from pay ranges stated in live job postings. We do not blend government survey data (like BLS OES) into the estimates, which is how several incumbent compensation products are built. The trade-off is honest: postings measure advertised pay from disclosing employers, not realized earnings - so we publish the disclosure-rate denominator instead of hiding it. ### What share of postings carry salary data? Roughly a quarter of postings across the full multi-country corpus state pay - higher in US jurisdictions with transparency laws, far lower in most of Europe. Benchmark responses return the sample size behind every percentile so you can judge each cell, and cells below the minimum sample threshold are suppressed rather than reported. ### How much history is there? The live corpus is a rolling 12 months of postings. Monthly aggregates are archived indefinitely from 2026 onward, so trend series grow every month. ### How is this priced? The salary benchmark endpoint is metered like the rest of the API. Free tier is 1,000 jobs to start with no credit card required; paid packages start at $49/month for 25,000 jobs ($1.96 per 1,000) and the rate falls with the package. Occupation, industry, skill-trend and AI-exposure breakdowns are available on request - book a demo and we'll walk you through the data. ## Further reading - [Introducing the Labour Market Pulse: free monthly hiring and salary data from live postings](https://jobspipe.dev/blog/labour-market-pulse) - [Salary data APIs in 2026: the real options, honestly compared](https://jobspipe.dev/blog/salary-data-api) - [Labor market data: 9 sources and APIs compared (2026)](https://jobspipe.dev/blog/labor-market-data-sources) - [Every job posting, classified: ISCO-08 occupations, ISIC industries and skills, live on the API](https://jobspipe.dev/blog/classified-job-postings-api) - [Is Lightcast worth it?](https://jobspipe.dev/answers/is-lightcast-worth-it) --- Try it with no key: `curl -d '{"limit":3}' https://api.jobspipe.dev/v1/sandbox/jobs/search`.
