Methodology
This page explains what Washington State Pay Hub counts, how the rule is labeled, and where the numbers come from. Counts use the same source snapshot as the hub front end.
How to Read This Hub
Mandatory posting disclosure. Covered postings must include wage scale or salary range, benefits, and other compensation. Threshold: 15+ employees.
Regional law/source context: Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act · RCW 49.58.110 · Jan 1, 2023.
What We Count
Washington State Pay Hub tracks public job postings where salary or wage information is visible. The current static snapshot contains 2,370 tracked postings, including 2,163 active postings across 186 employers.
The hub uses public employer career pages and public posting feeds collected by PayHub scrapers. Front-end count language is synchronized from data/jobs.json, using the dataset metadata count when present and the job list length as a fallback.
How We Clean It
Salary ranges are normalized into USD. Annual, hourly, and range-style disclosures may appear differently in original postings, so PayHub keeps original-source context where available and treats very wide ranges as lower-quality signals.
Archived or unavailable links may remain in the historical dataset for continuity, while active counts are reported separately when scraper metadata provides them.
Keeping Counts Aligned
Regional hub pages, search pages, and the main PayHub portal are designed to read from the same local dataset snapshot. Publish scripts run front-end synchronization before deployment so headings, metadata, structured data, and regional cards stay aligned.
