The Pay Transparency Index

Which employers actually state salaries? This page counts it: the share of postings whose own text or ATS compensation field states pay, ranked by field, by hiring system, and across large job boards, one row per board. Every figure is the company's verbatim words — never an estimate, never a modeled range.

The same rules apply to work modes: a posting is tagged remote, hybrid, or on-site only when the employer's own ATS field or explicit posting text says so. Postings that don't say carry no tag — we show nothing rather than a guess.

How much of the corpus states pay

  • 33.2% — of the 1,006,959 postings we have catalogued state pay
  • 26.2% — state a definitive work mode — remote, hybrid or on-site — and a posting that states nothing carries no tag rather than a guess

A posting states pay when its own description text or its system's structured compensation field carries a figure or a range, in the employer's words; nothing is estimated, modelled or converted. Counted across the postings the board currently carries, plus about 1% awaiting removal (1,006,959 rows in the table against 995,509 open); the table keeps no postings that have come down. Measured 2026-11-02 16:37 UTC, recomputed once an hour.

A posting states pay when its own description text or its system's structured compensation field carries a figure or a range, in the employer's words; nothing is estimated, modelled or converted. Counted across the postings the board currently carries, plus about 1% awaiting removal (1,006,959 rows in the table against 995,509 open); the table keeps no postings that have come down. Measured 2026-11-02 16:37 UTC, recomputed once an hour. One row per hiring system the board actually has postings from, taken from the board's own per-source count — a system we can read but hold no rows from has no row here.

Measured 2026-11-02 16:37 UTC, recomputed once an hour. One row per job board; an employer running several counts once per board. Boards with fewer than 50 postings are not ranked. Placement cannot be bought: the only way onto this table is to state pay in your own postings.
