Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (8)

Compensation is listed as 'DOE' (Depends on Experience) — no numeric range provided.

The posting titles the role 'Consultant' with no seniority modifier, but the 7+ years requirement across all listed skills and the 'Project Lead' framing in the position description support a Senior classification.

The role is hybrid (3 days onsite per week) and explicitly requires the candidate to be a current South Carolina resident; no relocation is permitted.

Angular versions 9 and 11 are specifically called out in both the narrative and the required skills section.

jQuery appears only in the narrative/scope description, not in the formal Required Skills list, so it is marked as preferred.

The 'Preferred Skills' section in the posting explicitly states 'N/A'; all soft skills listed under 'Additional Skills' are omitted as they name no specific technology.

Contract duration is 12 months from a projected start date of 08/17/2026, with possibility of extension. Client is SC DSS (Department of Social Services).

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
