What it means
This occupation pays in the top quarter of the French market: 45 k€ median, against 25 k€ across all occupations. An argument for the negotiation.
Only 26% of postings state their salary, against 48% across all occupations: prepare your range, it will rarely be written in the ad.
Three employers hold 56 % of the postings published directly (Collective.work, AKKODIS and CIORANE): few alternatives, but recruiters hiring in volume.

Methodology
What this page counts
Postings published over the last 90 days in the corpus Konvenable aggregates: France Travail, its partners, and the offers posted directly on Konvenable. Deduplicated and mapped to a reference role. It is a dated sample of the French market — not the whole of it.
Why some figures are missing
Three thresholds, because these are not the same statistics. A variation or a skill needs 25 postings over the period: below that we show the base rather than a spectacular, wrong percentage. A median salary needs 10. And expected qualities are counted over the postings that describe them, not over all of them.
How the salary is computed
Over the postings that display pay only, as gross annual full-time equivalent. A posting is worth the middle of its range, bounded by market plausibility limits — not its floor, which no employer offered on its own. If a city does not reach 10 paying postings, the figure falls back to its region then to France, and the page always states which level it was computed at.
Skills and qualities
They are computed at role and domain level, with no geography, over 4 weeks compared with the 4 before. A city × role cell almost never reaches 25 citations in a month: scoping them would empty both blocks precisely where you read them.
