Methodology

The data comes from 80+ crawlers dedicated to the main Ticino employers, cantonal bulletins and public aggregators. Each night we refresh the active-postings snapshot and compute the delta versus the previous day. The weekly report aggregates deltas from Monday to Sunday (ISO week). Median salaries, when available, are computed on the basesalary fields of postings that expose a pay range in schema.org MonetaryAmount format.
