What this guide helps with
A city page can be too narrow for a real decision. Nearby alternatives use real inventory counts where available, so you can see whether another city has more or fewer active jobs.
Decision guides
How to compare nearby job alternatives
How to use inventory deltas between nearby cities and regions when the current page is too narrow.
How to read deltas
A positive delta means the alternative has more active jobs than the current city page; a negative delta means fewer. The current city should be excluded from its own alternative list.
When to use it
Use alternatives when pay, contract type, commute, or requirements are weak on the current page. It is a search-expansion tool, not a promise that every nearby job is better.
Evidence labels you will see on puntWork
These labels are the bridge between job listings and the decision guides. They tell you how strong the underlying evidence is before you act on it.
- Source pay values
- Pay or salary text came from the job source. Use it as listing evidence, then confirm it on the partner application page.
- Sampled listings
- The answer comes from visible or inspected listings, not necessarily the full market. Treat it as a useful sample, not a universal claim.
- Active aggregate counts
- Counts come from the filtered active inventory, so they are strongest for market size, category mix, and nearby alternatives.
- Updated today
- The page was refreshed recently, but the partner page can still change first. For applications, verify final details at the source.
