Compare movement, not market size
Each series is indexed to its own February 1, 2020 level. An index of 120 means postings are 20% above that series’ baseline; it does not mean there are 120 jobs. A higher index in one state does not mean it has more jobs than another state.
State and national career-field series are separate. We do not combine them into an unsupported occupation-by-state estimate. No Indeed data enters the 0–100 health score.
