How these pages are made
Each insight page puts numbers from the job postings on Olive Jobs next to the questions people ask about a job. Here is where the numbers come from, how the words around them are written, and how to tell us when something is wrong.
What these pages are
An insight page covers one job, such as pharmacy technician, or one topic, such as jobs that hire at 15. It answers what people search for about it — what it pays, how much hiring there is, who is hiring, where, and what employers ask for — and links to the live openings.
Where the numbers come from
Every figure is counted from the job postings on Olive Jobs: the postings open in the United States on the date the page prints as “Data as of.” Each figure says what stands behind it, such as how many postings and over what window.
- We count postings, not people and not distinct jobs. An employer that lists the same opening in several cities is counted once per listing, so a count can run higher than the number of separate jobs.
- Pay is the pay employers post. A pay figure appears only when at least 30 postings with posted pay stand behind it; with fewer, the page leaves pay out rather than guess.
- A job or topic gets a page only when at least 200 open postings stand behind it.
- Trends count new postings by the week (or month) they were first seen. They show how fast new openings arrive, not how many people were hired.
- When a page uses another source, such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, it names the source and the date of its figures.
How the pages are written and reviewed
An AI model writes each page's words. It never types a number: it writes around placeholders, and the pipeline fills each one in from the data. An automated check refuses any page whose text holds a number the data does not.
Other automated checks look for missing sections, stock phrases, and a page that reads too much like another one with the job's name swapped. Then a second, separate AI model reviews the page against a written rubric — is it specific, accurate to the data, useful to someone looking for work, and more than boilerplate — and scores it out of 100. A page needs 75 to publish. A page that falls short is rewritten once; if it falls short again, it is not published.
No person writes or edits a page before it publishes.
How the pages stay current
About once a week each page's numbers are taken again. When they have moved, the words are rewritten around them and the page's “Updated” date changes; the “Data as of” date always says when the numbers were taken. A page that no longer meets the bars on this page is taken down.
Who makes them
The byline on every page, Olive Jobs Research, means the page was made by Olive Jobs' own data pipeline as described here — not by a named writer.
