What these figures do not say

This barometer is based on the active job listings in our catalogue. It does not cover the entire job market in Morocco: offline recruitment, speculative applications and positions filled through referrals are outside this survey.

This is a snapshot as of 6 October 2026, the first reading of the barometer, and not a trend over time. Moreover, the share of salaries indicated is low: only 9.2% of jobs mention pay. The median salary therefore describes only a minority of postings.

Method

Active job listings in the Talent Club catalogue on the survey date, one per role (duplicates grouped), analysed by our technology: employer sector, occupation, qualification, experience, languages, contract, salary as written. Information missing from a listing is never estimated. Shares and medians from 30 jobs; salaries: monthly or annual amounts in dirhams stated in the listing. These are the jobs in our catalogue, not the whole job market.
