## Details of Senior Job Trends Survey: Average Annual Increase of 149.5% Over 2 Years and 3 Months

In February 2026, the senior-specialized job site 'Senior Job' added an administrator function that allows for aggregating job numbers filtered by conditions such as job type retroactively (*1). However, the job conditions that can be set here are limited to job type, prefecture, region, employment type, and salary range. Specific features like '70+ welcome' or 'no retirement age' could not be set, making retrospective investigations impossible.
