Methodology
Current live, classified technology opportunities explicitly located in California, including ordinary W-2 employee roles and contract engagements, from Radar's normalized inventory.
Only listings explicitly stating California or CA as the work state are included; remote jobs without that state evidence are excluded.
Current counts use Radar liveness; new counts use the first-seen timestamp over rolling 24-hour and seven-day windows.
Compensation includes only structured USD hourly evidence. Ranges use the midpoint; single stated bounds use that bound. Statistics require at least 20 observations.
Listings and source classifications can change after the latest verification; observed postings are not a census of all U.S. technology jobs.
