How PayHub counts and labels pay data.
PayHub is a network of regional hubs for job postings with disclosed pay. The atlas separates posting rules, wage-range rights, and voluntary public disclosure so the counts are easier to read.
How to Read the Labels
Posting rules require covered employers to include pay information in covered job ads. Wage-range rights require disclosure to applicants or employees at specific hiring or employment moments, but do not necessarily make every public ad disclose pay. Voluntary disclosure means PayHub tracks salary ranges employers choose to publish.
What We Count
Regional hubs report public postings where pay is visible. When a hub dataset provides meta.count, PayHub uses that value. If metadata is absent, it falls back to the number of jobs in the local dataset. Active counts are reported separately when a scraper marks archived or unavailable postings.
Collection
PayHub scrapers collect public employer postings and normalize salary range fields into the hub's local currency. The front end does not scrape; it only renders the latest dataset snapshot produced by each regional hub.
Keeping Counts Aligned
Regional publish scripts run a front-end count synchronization step before deployment, then update the main portal region index. This keeps visible page copy, metadata, structured data, portal cards, and disclosure labels aligned to the same source snapshot.
