Measured, side by side
Both boards read continuously over a rolling 30-day window. The bolded figure in each row is the stronger of the two for a job seeker — on description completeness and ghost rate, lower is better.
| Himalayas | Real Work From Anywhere | |
|---|---|---|
| Live listings (30 days) | 5,756 | 110 |
| Distinct companies | 3,309 | 36 |
| Pay info in the listing | 46.7% | 63.6% |
| …in a field a machine can read | 42.5% | 3.6% |
| No usable description | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Possible ghost jobs | 0.1% | 0.0% |
| Graded A or B by us | 42.8% | 55.5% |
| Genuinely location-free | 0.2% | 82.7% |
Why the two pay columns differ
"Pay info in the listing" asks whether the salary appears anywhere in the posting. "In a field a machine can read" asks whether it sits somewhere a filter can reach. Where those diverge, the board has the number and buries it in prose — you can find it, but only by opening every listing.
We publish both because quoting only the parsed figure would report our own extraction limits as the board's failing.
