Using LinkedIn as a source of data is completely pointless. I see the same exact position posted 20 times by the same 3rd party recruiter. I see positions posted as listed in Zurich with a title of "Software Engineer, Bangalore Office (relocation provided)" which is listed 30 times for the 30 biggest cities in the world. I see positions deleted and being re-created daily to pop up in job seeker's filters again. You could argue anything using this as data.

  Yep, getting job statistics from Linkedin is a bad idea simply because Linkedin don’t track “unique” jobs.

      Unique for the constraint, distinct for the select. :)

Given the amount of people applying for fewer remote jobs one would think employers could/should start paying lower salaries for remote employees, if they haven’t already.
