Methodology

Numbers are aggregated from active job postings across Indeed, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn, refreshed weekly via Bright Data. Each unique posting with a disclosed hourly rate contributes one data point. Outliers below $5/hr or above $200/hr are filtered as likely typos. Sample sizes below 5 are suppressed rather than shown, we’d rather omit a stat than publish a misleading one.
