How the archive becomes usable hiring data.

Important limitations

Results should be read as archive analysis, not a government report.

• Active/current job search is separate from the historical closed-job archive.
• Historical records are imported over time, so archive totals can change as backfill continues.
• Salary normalization converts available pay fields into annualized values when the source data supports it, but salary maximums are not guaranteed pay.
• Remote and telework are separate. Telework eligible does not mean fully remote, and some announcements do not include clear metadata.
• Agency, occupation, and location fields are normalized for analysis, but source announcement details remain important.
• Duplicate control numbers are monitored so one announcement does not inflate counts.

Federal Hiring Data is independent and is not USAJOBS, OPM, or a federal government website. Readers should verify current openings, eligibility, salary, and application instructions in the individual job announcement.
