Methodology: We count IT postings of the last 90 days that mention Six Sigma. Projects posted several times that are detected as duplicates count once; postings without an assignable IT category are missing, so the figures are a lower bound. The trend compares the share of all IT postings with the 90 days before and only appears with enough comparison data. We do not show figures based on fewer than 30 data points. Recruiters are the posters of the listing according to the source, only above a minimum number of postings. The description of the skill is created automatically (from our skill directory or by AI) and checked by machine: no numbers, no company names, only the skill and its neighbours in the taxonomy. Texts are created and checked automatically, numbers come from the postings.
