Methodology
A job posting is counted as “disclosing salary” if the posting text contains a salary range, single figure, or pay band that could be parsed into structured data (min, max, currency, period).
Postings that mention only equity, bonus, stipend, or commission without base salary are not counted as disclosed.
Data source: 23,564 active job postings from public ATS boards. Generated on September 5, 2026.
