Pay figures.
Posted means the employer published it in the original listing.
Estimated means the job feed modelled it — the employer did not publish a figure.
From listing text means we extracted it from the listing wording rather than a structured field.
Where no figure appears, none was available. All are as-published and may exclude bonus,
equity or benefits — for a market-wide reference use the BLS wage bands above.
