The demand for your work · Edition 1 · August 2026

What you get for €19.

One occupation, built from the same counts as everything else on this site. The document is as long as the work needs it to be. The pages that answer where does my work stand are what you are actually paying for, so they are covered here.

These are real pages, from a real document. Nothing here is a mock-up or a sample dataset. It is the document a plumber receives — chosen because almost nobody who arrives at this site is a plumber, so the pages we can show you sell the format rather than answer someone else's question. The figures (plumbers & pipefitters: the direction, and the 7 markets it is visible in) are the published ones, and the methodology sets out the rules they were counted under.
