Among function tags on active postings outside China, Management is 12.8%, IT is 11.3%, Sales is 10.7%, and Manufacturing is 10.0%. Those four tag shares are 44.7% together. They are tag shares, not job counts. One posting can carry more than one tag, so the shares must not be added up as if they were pieces of the 6,167,276 postings. As of 2026-06-10. This is overseas job structure, not a job-market forecast.

FAQ
Do the four shares add to a job count?
No. 44.7% is the sum of tag shares, and tags are not one-posting-one-function.
What is the posting denominator?
The parent set is 6,167,276 active postings outside China on 2026-06-10. Tag shares are not slices of that count.
Is Manufacturing the industry or the function?
On this page Manufacturing 10.0% is the function tag. The industry mix is a different page.
Is this a job-market forecast?
No. It is overseas job structure.
