Question 1

How many skills are in the JobCannon database?

Accepted Answer

1,863 skills mapped across design, development, marketing, writing, operations, and data. Each has its own page, and most are linked to the careers that use them.

Question 2

How are skills linked to careers?

Accepted Answer

Through tens of thousands of mapped edges, built by matching each skill name and the tools listed with it against the text of every career profile. Open any skill page to see the roles it links to.

Question 3

Which skills should I learn for remote work?

Accepted Answer

Remote work tends to reward async communication, written documentation, comfort with async-first tools (Notion, Linear, GitHub), self-management, and one deep technical specialty. That is general guidance rather than something we measure — JobCannon publishes no remote-share figure per skill.

Question 4

Are technical skills worth more than soft skills?

Accepted Answer

Both matter. Technical skills get you the interview; soft skills (communication, collaboration, judgment) decide promotions and pay. Most senior remote roles weight them roughly 50/50.

Question 5

Does JobCannon rank skills by market demand?

Accepted Answer

No. We publish no demand score for a skill, because we have no measured source for one. What a skill page does show is which careers draw on it — a statement about the work itself rather than about hiring volume this quarter.

Question 6

Can I find careers that match a specific skill?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a skill page lists the careers linked to it, up to twelve, though a few hundred of the more specialised skills have nothing linked to them yet. Each career links through to its full profile, with the skills that role uses and, for nearly every one, the federal median pay for the occupation the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics measures it under.

Question 7

Is the skills database free to browse?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All 1,863 skills and every career link are free to browse. Where a career profile shows a salary card, the figures on it are federal U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
