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.
Denver's Senior Engineer market has converged on one price this quarter — a 1.21× band, $136,300 to $165,000. The same metro's Sales Representative band runs nearly 60% wider. Band width is a property of the role, not the metro.
1. Senior Engineer has converged. $136,300/$151,896/$165,000 (1.21×) — the market has largely agreed on one price.
2. Emergency Room Technician held; Sales Manager is Denver's widest band, at 2.09×. $60,163–$126,000, on 7,254 postings. (Emergency Room Technician's advertised pay was not credible for this occupation and has been dropped from this report — B2 cohort-contamination hold, all 7 new metros.)
3. Registered Nurse: Denver's tightest RN band of the 7 new metros. $37.98–$47.50/hr (1.25×).
4. Denver posts the third-deepest Application Developer market of the 7 new metros. 23,144 listings, behind only LA and DC.
Application Developer $132.0K vs. $133.1K (−0.8%); Registered Nurse $42.99/hr vs. $45.00/hr (−4.5%); Sales Representative $61.5K vs. $64.2K (−4.2%); Senior Engineer $151.9K vs. $136.0K (+11.7%); Architect $147.5K vs. $99.3K (+48.5%). Several roles have no BLS SOC equivalent.
