title: You can now filter jobs by region, county, or metro area
description: 55 million jobs that were silently missing from region, county and metro filters are now discoverable. If you've ever filtered jobs by Greater London, Los Angeles County or Tokyo and got back a suspiciously small number — that's fixed.

## 55 million jobs that you couldn't find before — now you can.

When you searched for jobs in **Greater London**, **Los Angeles County**, **Tokyo** or any other county / borough / region / metro area, you'd get back a tiny fraction of the actual jobs in that area. The region a city belongs to wasn't being recorded correctly on most jobs, so when you filtered by that region, almost nothing came back.

We fixed the ingestion so every new job gets the right region tagged, and we backfilled every historical job in the database. **55.2 million jobs** are now discoverable through region / county / metro filters that were previously missing them.

### What you need to do

Nothing. If you're already filtering by region IDs via [`job_location_or` / `job_location_not`](/en/docs/api-reference/jobs/search_jobs_v1) (the `admin2_id`\-typed entries in the location catalog) or via the Job Location filter in the UI, your existing queries will start returning the correct, much higher counts. Historical results refresh automatically.
