# Expired Jobs Archive

A historical archive of expired job postings from [Actify](https://actifyjobs.com).
Postings land here after they are no longer live and have aged out of the
production database (roughly six months after their posted date). New shards
are added monthly.

## Layout

```
archives/<run-id>/part-XXXXX-nCOUNT.jsonl.gz
```

- gzip-compressed JSONL, one job posting per line
- `COUNT` in the filename is the number of records in that shard
- each record is one posting: `doc_id` (unique posting id), `title`, `company`,
  location fields, `desc`, `posted_date` (ISO-8601 UTC), plus pay and
  experience metadata where available
- `doc_id` is unique across the archive; in rare cases a shard can appear
  twice under different run ids, so dedupe on `doc_id` when merging shards

## Totals

- **7,885,744** job postings in **790** shards
  (11.42 GB compressed)
