3.6% of October listings included salary data (85 of 2,341). To keep the ranges comparable, only usable listings from North America and Western Europe are counted (82 of the 85; 1 working-student listing is left out because hourly student pay is not a full-time salary, and 2 more are outside the region or not readable as an amount), normalized to USD equivalents with hourly and monthly rates annualized, and the middle 80% of each role group's listed pay is shown. A role group gets a card only with at least 5 usable listings, so the 4 cards below cover 73 listings and the rest sit in role groups with fewer than 5. Every card shows its listing count.
