How strong is hiring demand for R?
We haven't tracked a full calendar month for this yet, so there is no posting count to publish. The current month is still running, and a part-month count would read as a fall in demand that hasn't happened.
We need 3 complete months of tracking before we publish a month-by-month series. Months we only partly covered are left out rather than shown as low demand.
