The band covers the middle 80% of advertised starting salaries: one in ten starts below $60,000 and one in ten above $169,279.
Why the gap: salaried professional jobs are the ones most likely to be advertised with an annual figure, and they pay more than the workforce as a whole. Hourly jobs are counted separately, below.
