Data sourced from NYC Open Data. Statistics reflect job postings since January 1, 2026.

"Short-lived postings" are jobs removed within 10 days. This can happen for many reasons: internal-only positions open only to current City employees, narrow exam-filer pools, civil service list rules, or administrative/budget issues - not necessarily pre-selected hires.
