Method and limits
Sample: 680 job listings published on jobinkenya.co.ke and open on 25 October 2026. Listings are gathered from public job boards and official employer and government adverts, then checked and categorised.
This is not a measure of all hiring in Kenya. It reflects the adverts JobInKenya collects, which lean towards online, formal-sector roles in Nairobi.
Categories and locations are as assigned on the site; 59 listings do not state a town. Industry is stated on 333 adverts only.
Salary trends are left out because few adverts state pay. A future edition will add them once enough adverts do.
