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 Trenton-Princeton, NJ 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.

Who's hiring
Employers with openings here, alphabetically. Each opening is credited to the real
employer on its canonical posting, so aggregator and staffing-agency mirrors are
attributed to the actual hirer rather than the reposter. This is a sample of who is
hiring, not a ranking and not a complete list. Each name opens one of that
employer's postings here — a sample of their hiring in this metro, not all of it.
