Methodology and coverage
This is a sample of RustJobs.net listings, not a census of all Rust hiring. Only published roles with completed Rust review and verified application destinations were included. Drafts and closed roles were excluded. Counts describe the stored records at capture time; an application destination can change later.
Percentages use all 124 roles as the denominator. Technical mentions can overlap and do not necessarily indicate mandatory skills. Work arrangements use reviewed fields; unconfirmed arrangements are shown separately. The largest employer represented 17% of this sample. Publication dates are RustJobs.net records, not necessarily the employer’s original posting dates. No salary estimates are included.
