For the last few weeks, I’ve been analysing almost 600 front-end and full-stack job openings to learn about which technologies are in demand and valued, how many years of experience is required, whether we need a degree, whether or not companies care about accessibility and DEI, and more.
It was a ton of work, so I’m very happy to wrap things up with a blog post where I share all my findings: https://tsev.dev/posts/2025-03-26-the-state-of-the-frontend-and-fullstack-job-market

Here are some additional comments for shits and giggles.
I knew React was popular compared to “competitors”, but never expected it to be *this* popular. It’s in almost half of all openings! React is not my first choice for a rendering library, but it’s not worth giving up on half the opportunities.

Lots of surprises here. I thought Remix was more of a niche thing, expected Gatsby to be more popular, and Nuxt to be more popular than Astro. Y’all don’t know it yet, but in a couple of years, @astro will be on par with Next.js.

@astro Many job openings mention base salary ranges, and they also contain requirements, of course. With some data massaging, we can figure out which technologies are valued more.
While I’m usually quick to see patterns in graphs, this one doesn’t make sense to me. Role (front-end v.s. full-stack), programming paradigm, learning curve, popularity, demand, nothing seems to explain why one technology is generally paid significantly more than another.
