About these numbers
Job-posting counts of Korean companies are not used as a measure. Where a company’s official careers page is known, it is linked; job portals are not.
Robotics divisions inside large groups are left out because the register counts the whole company. A company with a shorter series keeps its numbers on its own row only.
