How these figures are made

Each posting's published band is reduced to its midpoint, and the typical figure is the median of those midpoints. Postings without a band are left out, and annual bands are not converted or mixed in. Union scales, steps, premiums and overtime are not reflected. Check each posting for the employer's exact terms.
