The FAIR spreadsheet codes are explained here.

Column L is the date the job position was first placed on the FAIR inventory.

Column E is the duty station.

Column H is the job function code, which are explained more fully here.

Column G is the number of positions in each job function code at each duty station. For example, row 6 shows three "C300" (accounting technician) jobs in Anchorage.
