Skills

Which skills employers are asking for in writing, and how often. Vacancy data measures advertised demand. It is not a measure of employment or of unemployment in Zimbabwe.

ClearNarrowing the view lowers the sample, which can lower the coverage grade.

Coverage grade is computed from source health, how much of the data comes straight from employers and official portals, the sample size and how recent the last collection was.
