Where these numbers come from
- 43 of 79 open legal postings in New York state pay. We used the 35 whose pay period and currency are clear.
- Each posting is read at the middle of its range and converted to a yearly figure (hourly pay assumes 2,080 hours a year). Each employer then counts once, at the median of its own postings, so one company hiring many people cannot set the number.
- These are advertised base ranges across all seniority levels, not survey data or total compensation. Counted 2026-10-12.
