Where do these figures come from?

From the pay open jobs state, read every night from each employer's own job board: 7 of 7 open quality engineer jobs at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) (100%) state pay. A job that posts no pay adds nothing here (we never guess one), and "up to" ceilings are set aside.

Sources and method

We use only the pay a posting names, the middle of each range, and count each of this company's jobs once. For the other companies, each distinct range they post counts a single time. We set aside "up to" ceilings and any rate wildly off the occupation's typical pay. A company gets its own pay page here once it names a rate on 5 or more open jobs in the occupation. The yearly estimate is the pay times 2,080 hours.
