Questions
Where do the figures come from?
In the UK, from live job ads on Adzuna: for each ad we take the salary the employer wrote (the middle of its range, or the one figure given) and show the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles, from 20 ads up. Salaries Adzuna estimated itself are left out. In the US the figures are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and in Canada from Job Bank: what people in the closest official occupation earn, which we name with each result. Where there are enough ads with a salary we show those too.
Why are the Canadian figures per hour?
Job Bank publishes most Canadian pay per hour. We show that and a yearly figure for full time at 37.5 hours a week, so you can compare it with a salary.
Do you store the pay I type?
No. The pay box isn't sent anywhere: the comparison is worked out in your browser. The server is only asked for the job you picked, and nothing about your visit is saved.
Why does it say there isn't enough data?
With fewer than 20 listings, one or two unusual adverts can move the range by thousands, so we'd rather say nothing than show a shaky number. Figures more than 180 days old are hidden for the same reason.
Thinking of retraining? Official routes into regulated careers give the pay while you train, and career change by starting job shows where people from your job move.
