React: market
React is the dominant library of the frontend market: most interface-development postings name it explicitly. We track 10 602 open React positions, 10 013 of them fresh. Requirements outgrew the library itself: TypeScript is the norm, Next.js covers SSR and routing, state management is migrating from Redux to server hooks and lightweight stores. React most often appears next to TypeScript, JavaScript and Python. 48% of the postings allow fully remote work. Below is a live slice of React developer demand: trend, geography, seniority and the adjacent stack from public sources.
The React market currently has 10,602 open roles, 10,013 of them freshly observed. Median salary $7,750/mo. Observed candidate pool — 6,549.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the React market — short answers from the slice.
What does a typical React job require today?
TypeScript (nearly always), Next.js or another SSR framework, data handling (React Query, tRPC or GraphQL), testing (Jest, Testing Library, Playwright), and render-performance understanding. Untyped JavaScript-only React is increasingly rare.
React or Vue/Angular — where are more jobs?
In this slice React is clearly ahead: 10 602 open positions versus smaller volumes for the alternatives (their pages are nearby in the technology section). Angular holds the enterprise segment, Vue — product teams and Asia.
Does a React developer need backend skills?
Increasingly yes: Next.js blurred the boundary (API routes, server components), and a share of postings expects fullstack skills — Node.js, database work, basic DevOps. Pure UI-only roles are more common in large product teams.
How remote-friendly is the React market?
48% of postings with an explicit format allow fully remote work — frontend consistently ranks among the most remote market segments; the work output is visible in the interface, which makes distributed teamwork easier.
