Where are the openings by country?

We looked at 78,285 visible postings, and 39,946 of them are in the US. The next biggest country counts fall off quickly: 5,634 in GB, 4,037 in IN, and 3,094 in CA.

Where the openings are

The country split is top-heavy. The US alone accounts for just over half of the postings we can see, while the next three countries together do not come close to matching it.

That table also shows a second finding: 4,388 postings do not state a country at all. So if you are trying to work out where the market is strongest, the visible country labels already hide a meaningful slice of the market.

The same pattern appears if you think about reach rather than geography. There are 10,238 employers in the dataset, so the openings are spread across many organisations, but not evenly across countries.

Salary by country

Country and pay disclosure do not move together. Some country groups are much more open about pay than others.

Canada stands out on salary transparency: 58.7% of its postings state pay. The US is also comparatively strong at 53.4%. At the other end, India and Japan are the least transparent among the larger country groups here, at 5.2% and 4.4%.

That matters because a country with many openings but little pay data gives you less to compare before applying. In those markets, the absence of salary is the point: you cannot rely on the advert to tell you what the role pays.

Sponsorship by country

Sponsorship is even less visible than salary. In the full dataset, 75,300 postings say nothing about sponsorship, which is 96.2% of the total. That silence is repeated across country groups.

The US has the most sponsorship offers in absolute terms, but even there they are a small minority of the country’s postings. GB has 100 offers, while DE has 12 and JP has 17.

The practical takeaway is simple: if sponsorship is part of your decision, the country label alone is not enough. You need to separate the few postings that mention it from the far larger group that stay silent.

What kind of work these countries contain

The openings are mostly full-time. Across the dataset, 59,645 postings are full-time, compared with 4,308 contract roles, 1,891 part-time roles, and 617 internships.

That mix helps explain why the country table looks the way it does. If most openings are full-time, then the biggest markets are likely to be the places where employers recruit at scale and where the data is richest.

The other notable category is UNKNOWN. There are 11,329 postings without a clear employment type, which is another example of the dataset’s broader pattern: the adverts often tell you what they are, but not always the details that matter most.

The skills that travel across countries

A country with many openings is only part of the story. You also need to know what those openings ask for.

Cloud and software skills dominate the list. AWS leads, followed by Python and SQL. That suggests the biggest country markets are not isolated local niches; they sit inside a broader technical hiring pattern.

For someone deciding where to focus, the useful move is to pair country with skill. If you are targeting the US or Canada, the salary data is relatively strong. If you are targeting countries where salary is often missing, then the skills table becomes even more important because it can help you narrow the search before you apply.

Which employers dominate the openings

A few employers account for a large share of the visible market.

The employer mix reinforces the country picture. Large employers drive a lot of the visible volume, and some of them disclose salary far more often than others. That means two postings in the same country can still feel very different when you compare how much they reveal.

What to do with this

If you are choosing a country to search in, start with the US, GB, IN, and CA, because those are the biggest visible pools here.

If salary matters, prioritise CA and US first, then look at the countries where pay is disclosed less often only if you are willing to do more manual filtering.

If sponsorship matters, treat silence as silence. Most postings in every country say nothing about it, so you will need to use the sponsorship field as a filter rather than assuming the country itself will answer the question.

Jobee can show you those country splits quickly, and the main lesson is the same whichever filter you use: the openings are concentrated, and the missing details are part of the market.
