Months follow the date a posting was published, and count postings closed since — the table below counts only those open now. A month needs 30 postings with a salary to be shown; a missing month is a gap, not a guess. A dashed step means the month had at least 3× the postings of the one before, so part of that change is which postings are counted. The hollow point is the current month, still filling up. These are postings on freehire, not the whole job market.
