Jobmore's Groundbreaking Salary Database Launch

On May 14, 2026, Jobmore, Inc., based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, officially released the largest salary database specifically categorized by job type in Japan. This robust database integrates approximately 3.16 million job listings sourced from various platforms with data from four significant government statistics collected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare. The dataset is made available for public citation by news agencies, allowing journalists to utilize the data effortlessly while providing clear references.

Overview of the Salary Database

Prior to the launch, news agencies frequently faced a burden in compiling salary data due to the need to aggregate statistics by job type, region, and employment form independently. This database alleviates that pressure by offering a centralized source of information. Since the inception of Jobmore's recruitment services in October 2025, the company has collected an extensive amount of job data, systematically contrasting it with governmental datasets to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Key Features of the Database

• - Total Job Listings: 3,164,677 items (as of May 14, 2026)
• - Number of Job Types: 145 (aligned with the Japanese Standard Occupation Classification)
• - Geographical Coverage: All 47 prefectures in Japan
• - Employment Types Included: Regular employees, contract workers, temp staff, part-time jobs, and freelancers
• - Update Frequency: Automatically updated every Monday
• - Output Formats Available: Web display, CSV, and Excel downloads for ease of access

Detailed Job Data Available

Each job type has its dedicated page (for example, Designer Salary Data), where users can access seven crucial types of information, including:

• - Average and median annual salaries, as well as salary distribution histograms
• - Average and median hourly wages, including wage distribution
• - Cross-tabulated salary medians by prefecture and employment type
• - Wage trends categorized by age, experience, and educational background aligned with government statistics
• - Comparisons of salary by company size, industry, and education level
• - Historical trends of gender wage gaps
