41.2% of 1,407,680 examined postings state a salary. JobShifu measures this by crawling employer applicant-tracking systems directly rather than buying a job feed, so a posting counts as silent only after its own description was read and no pay was found in it.
By level, 49.8% of entry-level roles state pay, against 53.2% of Staff roles. The least forthcoming level of all is Exec, at 35.8%. The method changed between 2026-09-13 and 2026-09-29, so this is not comparable with the edition of 2026-09-08 (14.9%).

What a rate cannot tell you
A rate describes a market. It cannot tell you whether the posting you are looking at is one of them. That is a different question, and it is settled by one requisition's own crawl history: the date the posting was first seen, whether the same requisition was listed before, and how long it has been up since.

Common questions
How many job postings actually state the pay?
41.2% of 1,407,680 postings from 13,545 employers state a salary. A posting counts as silent only after its description was read and no pay was found, and the share is a floor: pay written in an unusual format can be missed, and every miss lowers it.
Does pay disclosure differ by seniority?
Yes. Exec roles state pay least often, at 35.8%, and staff roles most often, at 53.2%. Entry-level roles sit at 49.8%.
Which countries' job postings state pay most often?
Among countries with at least 5,000 postings examined, Canada states pay most often, at 60%, and India least often, at 0.2%. In the United States the figure is 53.2%.
How this was measured
The method changed between 2026-09-13 and 2026-09-29. Pay extraction was rebuilt in stages: new description formats, UK, Irish, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian pay lines, and structured pay fields some applicant tracking systems send. The earlier figure missed most of the pay that postings stated. Editions before 2026-09-29, including the 14.9% published on 2026-09-08, were measured differently and are not comparable with this one.
A posting counts as silent only after its description was read and no pay was found in it. That distinction is what makes this figure reportable at all: the record separates "examined, nothing stated" from "never examined", so silence here is an observation rather than a gap in our own coverage. The 6,563 postings never examined are excluded rather than counted as silent.
The figure is a floor, not a ceiling. Pay stated in an unusual format inside a description can be missed by the extractor, and every miss pushes the disclosed share down rather than up. Where the pay arrives as a structured field from the employer's system instead of as prose, there is nothing to miss. So the real rate is at least this, and plausibly a little higher.
Country is shown only where at least 5,000 postings were examined. Postings carrying no country are counted in the level table and left out of the country one, rather than being assigned a guess.
Any figure resting on fewer than 25 examined postings, or fewer than 5 employers, is withheld rather than shown.
