The Jobs Market

Salary data presented as a range, not a single misleading number

Salary sites usually show one “average” figure, which is close to useless — the average of a range that spans $60k to $140k describes almost nobody. This site leads with percentile bars showing the low, median, and high end together, so a visitor can locate themselves rather than be told a number that fits no one.

The search takes occupation and location as separate inputs, matching how people actually phrase the question, and the hero states the site’s whole proposition in one line: find out what the job actually pays.

Navigation is organized by question — what jobs pay, getting paid more, pay rules, the job market — rather than by content type, which keeps a large body of pages navigable and gives internal linking somewhere sensible to point.
