For each company we take every distinct posting (deduped by company + title) seen in the last 90 days — active or since-closed, so the rate reflects recent practice, not just whatever's open today — and compute the share that disclosed a salary range. A company appears once it has ≥10 postings in the window; the "least transparent" list requires ≥20 so it reflects a clear policy. Staffing agencies are excluded. Employer-reported, never inferred. As of 2026-10-14. This 90-day practice rate is measured over a different window than the share of currently-open roles that disclose — same data, different window, so the two figures differ slightly by design.
