Florida has no law requiring a pay range in job postings, so a posting there can leave pay out (each state's law beside its postings).

Of the 447 space postings in Florida whose text we read, 86.4% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 4.3% name a security clearance, by our research on who can apply, which compares every state. Each posting states its own rule, often citing export control under ITAR or the EAR.

We read each employer's own job board every hour. A role is listed here when it is a US role and its own location line names a place in Melbourne, Florida, by the same reading as our research on where space jobs are; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
