How to read these figures

How to read these figures.
Measure bases differ. The offered median is the employer-certified offer on this county's instructional filings. The prevailing median is the DOL wage floor on the same filings. The campus comparison divides by what the institution reports paying all instructional staff. The three are not interchangeable.
A filing records an offer and an employer assertion, not a payroll or a confirmed hire. Institution membership comes from the EIN join; K-12 districts have no coverage in this vertical.
