Who states the pay in a job posting

Pay · figures recounted Nov 14, 2026 from 89,712 open jobs · how they are made

47% of the 89,712 open postings state what the job pays. In leadership it is 56%; in jobs by language, 21%.

Postings that state the pay, field by field

The bar is the share of a field’s postings in which a pay range can be found.

Why the share differs

Some US states require a pay range in a job posting; elsewhere it is the employer’s choice. So the same company often states pay for a role in New York and stays silent for the same role in another country. A missing figure here can also mean a wording our reader does not recognise.

When a posting is silent

Look at what the same kind of work pays where it is stated: the salary checker shows the range for a role and level from postings that publish it, and the offer check places a figure you were offered among them. The list of jobs that state pay leaves the silent ones out.
