A few employers hold most of the openings
Moog and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center together posted 320 openings, 49.6% of the edition. The ten largest employers account for 72.6%. That describes the collected inventory, not all hiring in the regional economy: a large employer with its own career site is easier to check completely than many small ones.

How long listings had been up
556 listings stated when they were posted. Of those, 117 (21.0%) were a week old or newer, 172 (30.9%) were 8 to 30 days old, and 267 (48.0%) had been up more than 30 days when checked. A long-running listing can be a hard-to-fill role, a standing requisition, or a posting the employer has not taken down.
Published pay
69 listings (10.7%) published pay. Across 35 salaried ranges, the median low end was $69,000 and the median high end was $82,500 a year. Across 27 hourly ranges, the medians were $20.00 and $23.00 an hour. Pay counts only ranges the employer stated; ranges a job board estimated are left out. These describe the listings that chose to publish pay, not wages across the region.
Many details go unstated
Work arrangement was stated for 267 listings (41.4%): 159 on-site, 55 hybrid, and 53 remote. Employment type was stated for 423 (65.6%), of which 389 were full-time. Buffalo Projects leaves the rest unknown instead of estimating.

Method and reuse
Published August 14, 2026. The figures are fixed to the snapshot generated August 12, 2026 and rebuilt from it on October 14, 2026; they do not change as the live index updates. Listings can change after checking, sources can fail, and this is not a complete census of regional hiring.
