How does "R language" compare to searching for one of the popular R packages? Searching for "tidyverse", "dplyr", or "ggplot" seems to get a good chunk of hits. That being said, yeah, there does seem to be a trio of skills that often go together (R, python, SQL)

If you search specific packages on LinkedIn the number of jobs is usually very small

E.g. tidyverse or dplyr is like 20-40 jobs. ggplot is 88. There's definitely way more than 100+ companies looking for R-heavy users.
