The pay bands employers are advertising this quarter

Customer Service spans the widest range of any of the 4 new verticals: Customer Success Manager pays 2.71× Customer Service Associate at the median, while Customer Service Representative — the entry-level anchor role — is the tightest, most converged band in this vertical.

Executive Assistant pays 1.92× Receptionist at the national median this quarter — the cleanest role-to-role premium in this release, inside one job family with no seniority-mixing flag. Data Entry Specialist is the vertical's tightest, most converged band.

Plumber is Skilled Trades' highest-paid role this quarter, 1.50× Mechanic's median. Mechanic is also the vertical's widest band (2.16×) — plausibly a title spanning auto, diesel, and industrial-equipment postings under one label, a scope caveat worth stating plainly rather than implying one "Mechanic market."

Cook anchors Hospitality's hiring this quarter (929,425 national listings, more than any other role in the vertical) and also carries its widest pay band (1.91× P75/P25). Housekeeper and Dishwasher, by contrast, are the vertical's most converged, tightly-priced roles.

Seattle sits at the top of the pay spectrum across several roles in this release this quarter — highest RN median, highest Application Developer median, and the highest Senior Engineer ceiling of any of the 7 new metros.

Houston anchors the low end of Registered Nurse pay across the 7 new metros this quarter — 18.4% below Seattle's median for the same title. Houston still carries a real band, not a point: $35.54–$47.51/hr.

Registered Nurse is Boston's own busiest role this quarter (22,779 postings, the largest of Boston's top-10) and one of the release's best-paid RN markets: Boston's median ($101,892.50) is the highest of the 7 new metros outside the West Coast, behind only Seattle ($105,040) and LA ($104,801). Sales Representative remains Boston's widest band (1.93×) and Senior Engineer its tightest (1.21×).

Atlanta anchors the low end of Application Developer's national geography — 10.3% below Seattle's median this quarter for the same title. Atlanta also carries the widest Sales Representative band of any of the 7 new metros (2.12×).

Denver's Senior Engineer market has converged on one price this quarter (1.21× P75/P25) — a sharp contrast to the same metro's Sales Representative band, which runs 1.93× wide. Denver's own Registered Nurse band is the tightest of any of the 7 new metros.

Application Developer is DC's own largest role by volume this quarter (25,299 postings, second only to LA among the 7 new metros) — and DC's employer base is broader than LA's: 5,984 companies posted for this title here, more than in any other new metro, including LA's 5,740. Across DC's ten most-hired roles, Sales Representative remains the widest band (2.06×) and Physical Therapist the tightest (1.25×).

LA leads every one of the 7 new metros on hiring depth, posting 170,730 listings across its top-10 cross-industry roles this quarter — 25.8% ahead of the next-largest new metro. Application Developer alone accounts for 29,183 of those listings, more than any single role in any of the other 6 metros in this release.

28,882 nurse postings hit the Dallas–Fort Worth market this quarter, from ~1,672 employers. Your RN offer isn't competing with a survey median — it's competing with all of them. The 10 occupations DFW hires most, each with the BLS check.

What logistics employers are advertising this quarter: the Truck Driver band runs $50K–$83K (P25–P75), and the median swings 18% across the top posting metros — same job, same quarter. Every median printed next to its BLS benchmark.

One license, two labor markets: the advertised Registered Nurse range runs $24–$47/hr this quarter (P25–P75). The low tail largely reflects per-diem, home-health and long-term-care postings — price the setting, not the title. Every median printed next to its BLS benchmark.

Same title, same quarter, 26% apart: the advertised Store Manager median runs $46K in Dallas–Fort Worth and $58K in New York. Frontline bands have converged (Cashier $10.25–$15.04/hr); the management ladder is where the market still disagrees. With the BLS check.

Same metro, same title, 2.2× apart: the advertised Sales Representative band in Minneapolis–St. Paul runs $38.5K–$85K this quarter (P25–P75). The 10 occupations this metro hires most — every one a band, printed next to its BLS benchmark.

Chicago fleets advertise 27% above the national benchmark: the advertised Truck Driver median runs $74.7K vs the $58.6K BLS figure — big-metro premium plus projected driver earnings. The 10 occupations Chicago hires most, each with the BLS check.
