What this can't tell you: these are only the ads listed on this site, not every job in the sector. Many employers don't state pay, and a few ads can move a range a long way. Use it as a rough guide, not a salary survey.

How do you decide an employer's industry?

It's our own call, made from what the employer does and its own ad. A recruiter ad that hides the employer is only counted here when the ad names the sector.
