How we calculate these figures
- Source: every current advert on the WORC Jobs Portal that states pay (1,363 of 1,363 adverts). Updated about three times a day.
- Each advert's pay is converted to a yearly figure: hourly rate × the advert's stated hours per week × 52; weekly × 52; every two weeks × 26; monthly × 12. US dollar pay is converted at the fixed rate CI$1 = US$1.20.
- For a pay range we use its midpoint for the median. The range runs from the lowest advertised minimum to the highest advertised maximum.
- Left out: 17 adverts with pay we can't convert safely (daily rates without days per week, "bi-monthly" rates, or figures that don't add up), and gratuities/tips.
- We only publish a figure when at least 3 adverts support it. We never estimate or fill gaps.
