Role prevalence divides postings mentioning Security+ by all postings for each role in the same window, ranking roles with at least 20 postings. Role distribution divides each role’s Security+ postings by all Security+ postings, including postings without a role. Shares need not sum to 100% for the displayed roles. Pages refresh weekly (or daily for the top-50 most-requested skills).
