Geospatial market research
Open research on jobs, skills, salaries, source quality and the changing shape of spatial work. Built from the geospatial community to the geospatial community.
Start with the research: market signals, confidence notes, known limits and community contribution.
Research substrate
Market evidence and community signals.
39,191 job-market records reviewed and grouped into aggregate hiring, role, geography and skill signals.
25,234 spatially publishable market rows used to understand where demand is visible and where coverage is still thin.
2,050 salary benchmark rows separated from job-ad salary noise and described with confidence language.
Quality notes that make uncertainty visible without exposing operational detail.

Research outputs
Explore the market pulse, quality scorecard, evidence notes and research references behind a clearer view of geospatial work.
Market questions
The geospatial labour market has a geography, a skills vocabulary and a confidence problem. This research maps where work is visible, where role language is shifting and where the evidence is strong enough to support comparison.
Compare visible hiring signals across countries, cities, remote patterns and sector clusters without treating every posting as equally certain.
Track how spatial SQL, cloud-native geospatial, remote sensing, GeoAI, GIS platforms and data engineering language appear together in job descriptions.
Use salary benchmarks, location coverage and source-quality notes to show where evidence supports interpretation and where the community can improve the picture.
Community research
The research gets better when practitioners contribute salary ranges, skill signals, missing sources, tool usage, learning routes and questions that the market does not answer well yet.
Start with the market pulse, then follow the quality notes to understand which signals are strong, directional or still incomplete.
