The CJI represents online labour dynamics in South Africa by providing an analysis of the relative ratio of supply and demand in the online job market.
The CJI is based on data gathered from the CareerJunction website, which include salary data that is broken down by profession and region.
The data provided during 2021 revealed that IT professionals in Gauteng enjoy higher salaries than their counterparts in Cape Town and Durban.
The higher salaries in Gauteng are expected because most corporates are based there, and the demand for professionals in this province is higher than in Cape Town and Durban.

These are basic salaries — cost to company (CTC) — and do not include bonuses and other benefits.
