How this is counted
- Stated pay means the posting itself gives a pay figure, in a structured field or in its text. We never estimate pay, so a posting without a figure counts as not stating pay.
- Only countries with at least 1,000 open postings are listed, so that a share is not driven by a handful of rows.
- This counts a posting as soon as it gives a pay figure in any currency. The share of postings with pay we can convert to annual euros, quoted on the coverage page, is lower.
- A low share describes what the postings we read publish. It is not a statement about pay levels in that country, and it can also reflect which employers and public services we hold there.
