Read the researchOnly 31.7% of Active Job Postings Disclose Pay
Salary transparency is treated as the new normal. The data says it is still a minority practice, though a growing one. Across a live corpus of 342,581 active postings, only 31.7% disclose pay.

This figure was 23.7% when we first published this page in July; see the update note below for why it moved.
