How these numbers are calculated

NearSkill lists 1,239 live roles advertised at $50+/hr or more, grouped into 1,167 role families. Of the 1,239 USD hourly listings, the median advertised rate is $85/hr. The middle 50% sits between $70 and $110/hr, and the full posted range is $50 to $350/hr. These are advertised rates, not earnings.

The largest sources in this set are micro1 (406), Mercor (266), AfterQuery (215), Handshake AI (149). The skills that appear most often are ai evaluation, python, technical writing, llm evaluation, ai training. 97% of this set is remote.

Eligibility is mixed: 491 listings publish country eligibility explicitly, 0 imply it in the description, 407 do not state it. 341 listings are marked worldwide. Missing eligibility is treated as unknown, not as worldwide.

Figures were computed from the live job feed on November 15, 2026. Counts and pay move as listings are added or closed. NearSkill does not estimate missing pay, and non-USD rates are excluded from the USD medians rather than converted.
