What our data shows for Editors
RoleHue publishes 10 salary records for Editors, across a single city. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $85,181 at the 25th percentile to $223,381 at the 75th, a spread of $138,200 around $137,496. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $137,496 figure rather than in dollars (101% of it), that spread is wider than 98% of the roles we cover, so a single figure summarises this title worse than it does most others.
Every one of those records comes from New York, NY, so nothing on this page should be read as a national figure. It is one metro's picture, and it will change shape as other cities reach the ten-record threshold we require before publishing a number.
