  3. 3. Live counts. Deduplicated live listings observed daily on Nelnet's own hiring system; last check October 28, 2026. Stale and syndicated posts on aggregator sites are not counted.
  4. 4. Posted pay. Ranges extracted from the text of Nelnet's own listings; a range appears only when the employer printed one. Extraction is still rolling out, so this table can lag the board.
