A role needs at least 20 postings with pay to appear. How this is computed: each posting’s pay range is reduced to its midpoint, and hourly pay is multiplied by 2,080 hours a year. Postings that give only an “up to” or “from” figure are left out, and so are NP jobs. Pay is what the employer posted, not an estimate.
