Yes, the default is US.

Interesting behavior. I indeed only see it when remote_jobs_only=true.

Yes, I'm using "remote_jobs_only=true" because I'm searching for remote jobs in specific countries. It still doesn't make sense to search for remote jobs in, for example, Canada, and return jobs from other countries. If I don't use "in xxx" in the query, it will only return remote jobs in the USA by default, it seems.

Hi there,

Thank you for your message.

First, the API pulls the data directly from Google for Jobs and in real-time. This is an interesting case.. Looking at the jobs from the different locations, it seems like all three are also remote, so my guess is that Google's mixes them in the results since technically someone from Canada, Australia, or Ireland can apply. Is it consistent with what you are seeing?

Thank you,
Adam @ OpenWeb Ninja
