Why no listing counts or repeat rates? The first five countries cover 30 days and the rest 90 days. Shares can be compared across those windows; counts and the share of repeated listings cannot, because a longer window gives the same job more chances to be posted again. A table with every country on the same 90-day window is coming.

Region labels are kept as the job boards publish them. Several boards file every listing under the capital (for example Bayt in Morocco, Lebanon and Egypt), so a high share can be a board default. Each country report explains its case.

Hotels are counted by company name. The Saudi report counted brand names only, so its share is slightly low.
