- Jobs stating an hourly rate31
The median is the middle of the distinct rates they post, and the middle half, $69,700.80–$86,840 an hour, runs from their 25th percentile to their 75th: half of the rates fall between them. Each range counts at its midpoint, and a job posted many times at one rate counts once, so no employer's posting volume sets the figure.
