Engineering & Science jobs on the Isle of Man

Annualised before averaging, so an hourly contract and a salary compare. A median needs 4 adverts before it is printed at all — below that it is one advert's opinion, and next to a sector name it reads as the going rate.

Two charts, never one: the top bars are figures employers printed, the bottom ones are estimates for the adverts that printed nothing. Each is scaled to its own tallest band, so the shapes compare even though the samples are different sizes.

Most employers advertise island-wide rather than by town, so the island-wide row is usually the tall one — it is where the advert was filed, not a claim about where the work is.

An agency is the advertiser, not the employer — which is why they have a directory of their own. An agency advert naming no employer isn't a gap in our data: the advert itself never names them.

Direct adverts and agency adverts that name them. An employer hiring through an agency that keeps the client confidential can't be counted here.

Counted by adverts placed, whether or not the client is named.

Bars cover only the adverts that state a contract type; the rest are left out rather than counted as full-time.

Read out of the advert text by a language model and mapped onto a fixed skill list, so this is what these adverts ask for — not a survey of the island's workforce.

Only benefits the advert actually lists. A pension everyone offers but nobody prints doesn't appear here.
