Methodology

How this San Diego market page is updated

Mullet refreshes active job supply throughout the day. Facility, agency, specialty, pay, and freshness metrics are calculated from currently active San Diego RN travel job postings. Unique postings and reported openings are kept separate. Pay averages are calculated only from postings with valid weekly pay data. Direct-access labels are based on Mullet's agency, facility, and source signals. When a supported relationship is unavailable, we label it as posting history instead of inferring a contract.
