How often do job requirements mention a Diploma?

405 current opportunities mention Diploma in structured Requirements. That is 31% of the 1320 current opportunities where SpanSam has usable Requirements.

Missing Requirements remain unknown. Responsibilities, employer descriptions, marketing copy and related-job text do not add to this count.

Important: Diploma is counted when it is mentioned in Requirements. A mention may be one option in wording such as “degree or diploma”; it does not automatically mean this is the sole or minimum qualification. This page does not claim these are “Diploma-only” jobs.
