The Opportunity Index is a score from 0 to 100 that combines two key factors to evaluate how attractive a job is:

50%Normalized salary: compares the salary with the salary range of all listings (0 = lowest, 50 = highest).
50%Openings (logarithmic scale): uses the logarithm of available openings to prevent very large numbers from distorting the scale (0 = few openings, 50 = many openings).

Index = (Normalized salary × 50) + (Log(openings) normalized × 50)

≥ 80: Excellent60–79: Good40–59: Moderate< 40: Low
