Where it is mentioned most

Each row divides by that role's postings in this edition, highest share first.

Reading this edition

Postings in 5 role families mention Visual Basic in this edition.

None of the 8 role families with a page of their own mentions Visual Basic in one posting in five or more.

Visual Basic is more concentrated in Smart Manufacturing / AOI postings (5.8%) than across all core AI postings (0.9%): at least twice the overall share.

How the readings are made: "more concentrated than overall" means that in a role family with a page of its own, at least 10 postings mention the skill and its share is at least 2 times its share of all core AI postings; "common" means at least 20% of a role's postings mention it. They describe the postings open in this edition, not a trend.
