    "note": "Live English-teaching job adverts in South Korea by region, counted on LucyESL. Counts of adverts, not of employers, and not a benchmark. An advert naming two regions is counted in each region and once on the board, so region rows sum to more than the board total. Medians are withheld below 8 adverts and the count is still given. Most adverts are copied from public Korean-market job boards and are labeled as copied on lucyesl.com; the listings are theirs, these aggregate counts are computed by LucyESL."
