The vast majority of jobs listed don’t “advertise” salaries. Weird article in that it doesn’t even acknowledge that. It couldn’t be RTE passing on a press release without actually vetting it’s contents now could it? 🤔
Let’s check back after EU mandated listing of salary is introduced.

I get that a newspaper never refuses ink, and that IrishJobs is ultimately an offshoot of Axel Springer SE (the massive publishing group – politico, business insider, BILD – DO NOT LOOK UP WHO AXEL SPRINGER WAS!!!) and so knows how to get coverage, but this is mostly useless.
I struggle to imagine why the public should pay attention to data from a single platform when this is data that is collected by the CSO both through survey (EHECS) and administrative data.
The only real use of it is if you are for some reason interested in the advertised salaries on that particular platform. Maybe if you are really interested in specific job titles rather than sector, but I’m not sure that is particularly useful given the other constraints and how arbitrary title selection can be in advertising a role.
Anyway, up the CSO. Would be nice if RTÉ would do a bit of work in interrogating the data rather than just hitting Ctrl+C on a press release.

Highest median salaries? Of the categories they looked at? Because there are quite a few jobs / careers that would have a higher median salary than 80k in Ireland.

We don’t know how good we have it in this country
