# PayEvidence

> PayEvidence is a point-in-time panel of employer-stated pay and hiring
> activity, collected from public ATS job boards (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever,
> Workday). Salaries enter the dataset only when the employer published them —
> never modeled, never survey-based. Every row keeps its public source URL,
> observation timestamp and extraction confidence.

## Current measured coverage (as of 2026-10-14)
- Companies tracked: 1563
- Open roles: 133,294 across 67 countries
- Employer-stated salary ranges: 37,319
- Salary disclosure rate (over roles where salary text is observable): 52.2%
- EU open roles: 31,232 (disclosure 45.0%)

- Live series window: 2026-08-11 to 2026-10-14,
  written forward daily and never backfilled; sparse archive evidence (back to
  2022) is labelled separately and never blended into the live series.
