The market in Knoxville, TN

67 distinct openings
48 based in the metro
19 national / remote pool
12% remote-flagged

Openings are distinct reqs (near-duplicate postings deduped), not raw posting counts. Distinct openings includes both rows beneath it. "National / remote pool" counts reqs credited to Knoxville, TN by a nationwide or remote posting rather than by a location stated here — real opportunities for someone living in the metro, which is why they are counted, but not evidence of an employer based in it. That is a different question from remote-flagged, which is how each req describes its own working arrangement, so the two do not add up or contain one another. Located developers is a GitHub-profile supply signal, not a hire count.
