Editorial Team & Standards

YourJobs.com publishes original research alongside listings sourced from partner job feeds. The editorial team is responsible for the AI Vulnerability Index, occupational summaries, and the data quality standards we hold ourselves to.

Editorial team

Editorial standards

Every claim on YourJobs.com must meet four tests:

1. Sourced. Quantitative claims trace back to a primary source — typically the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the IRS, or a peer-reviewed academic paper. We name the source on the page.
2. Dated. Time-sensitive data carries a "last updated" date. When the source publishes a new version, we update or annotate the change.
3. Honest about uncertainty. Where our methodology produces estimates rather than measurements (e.g. the AI Vulnerability Index), we publish the methodology and document its limitations.
4. Independent of advertising. No editorial decision — including the ranking of jobs, the choice of occupations to feature, or the methodology behind the Index — is influenced by paid placement or affiliate relationships.

Corrections policy

If we publish something that's wrong, we fix it and document the change. To request a correction, email [email protected] with:

• The page URL
• The specific claim you're contesting
• The source that supports the correction

We aim to acknowledge correction requests within two working days and publish corrections within seven days when the source is verified.

Conflict-of-interest disclosure

• Which jobs appear in search results (ranked by recency × CPC, not editorial preference)
• The AI Vulnerability Index methodology or scores
• Editorial coverage of any occupation or industry
