    "summary": "Posting records classified as remote, marked open in the JobShifu posting corpus and seen within the preceding seven days. Blocked feed sources and blocked companies excluded. Global sample, not a representative labor-market sample.",

  },
  "method": {
    "unit": "A posting record, not a deduplicated vacancy. Requisition keys (employer plus the employer's requisition id) are reported for reference and are not a validated vacancy count.",
    "country": "The country of the posting's stated location as stored in the corpus. Remote records without a country, or with an unresolved one, are counted in the all-countries total only.",
    "regionLabel": "The remote region JobShifu extracts from the posting text and location: us-only, canada, us-canada, uk, eu, global and similar. noLabel means nothing was extracted. ownCountryLabel is the label that restricts the role to the posting's own country (us-only for US, canada for CA, uk for GB).",
    "limitation": "A missing label does not mean the employer omitted its rules or permits work from anywhere; the extractor may have missed wording, or the source may not carry it. A present label is an extraction, not an individually validated eligibility decision.",
    "disclosureFloor": "A cell is published only with at least 25 records and 5 employers. Cells below it (for example the global label in each country) are folded into anyLabel."
