Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
3 of the 6 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 3 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 44 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the national statistical agency's median pay and employment count for each HR and payroll occupation code, per jurisdiction, with the release period stated; the derivation is the cross-jurisdiction and cross-role comparison the agencies do not publish together - median pay for an HRIS or payroll role beside an HR generalist and an HR manager, in one currency at the day's rate, with the employment count and the projected change, and the series since the earliest comparable release
44 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
