Start here
Read the market without mistaking noise for signal.
Market Observer shows approved public role, skill, salary, and work-model context with its sources and caveats attached.

Do it with the screen open
Three steps, one calm handoff.
- Step 1Open this screen
Start from your question
Open Market Observer and pick the cut that matches your decision: roles, skills, salaries, locations, or work models.
You should see: Every view names its source and freshness instead of implying live coverage.
Step 2Open this screenCompare with caveats in view
Use Compare for two roles or markets side by side. Suppressed or thin data says so rather than filling the gap.
You should see: Unavailable data is labeled unavailable; nothing private feeds the public numbers.
Step 3Open this screenCheck the methodology once
Read the methodology page one time so you know what the numbers can and cannot claim before you rely on them.
You should see: You can say where a figure came from before repeating it in a negotiation.
If the path breaks
If a view is unavailable, the state names why and what remains usable. Your private records are never the fallback data source.
The help center never asks for a private source in a public form.
