How we count

  • Jobs: every job live on FindPrimeJobs on the day, with a location in Malaysia. Jobs come from employers' own careers sites, job feeds and employers who post with us. Closed jobs are removed daily.
  • Areas are matched from the job's location, so a job in Petaling Jaya counts towards Selangor. A few jobs list more than one place.
  • Salaries: only ads that give a monthly figure in ringgit. For a range we use the midpoint. Ads without a salary are not estimated.
  • Resumes: files scanned on the site in the last 90 days by the current scanner, excluding files that could not be read in full. Published only as totals, and only when there are at least 100 scans.
  • Months: this page is refreshed through the month; each month's final figures stay at their own address.
