How is the average recruitment salary calculated?

According to a recent report, in the first quarter of 2023, the average recruitment salary of enterprises in 38 cities nationwide was1010/yuan/month. This data has sparked heated discussions, especially in the context of increasing downward pressure on the economy.

According to this report, although the recruitment salary in some cities increased slightly, overall, this figure decreased slightly compared with the same period last year. According to the report, this may be related to the slowdown in economic growth and intensified competition in the job market.

In the recruitment market, competition is becoming more and more fierce, and job seekers' expectations for wages are getting higher and higher. With the increase of labor costs, enterprises are facing greater challenges in recruitment. In addition, the impact of the epidemic on enterprises is also an important factor. Many enterprises suffered serious losses during the epidemic, so their budgets for recruitment and salary were limited.

The publication of this data has aroused widespread concern and heated discussion. Many people say that this figure is not satisfactory, especially those who work hard but don't earn much. Some people call on the government and enterprises to take measures to raise wages and support the stable development of the labor market.

However, some people have questioned this report. Some people think that this report is only a statistical data, and it cannot represent all cities and all industries. They believe that in fact, some industries have high wages and some industries have low wages. Therefore, we need more data and detailed research to understand the actual situation of different industries and cities.

The median can better represent the overall level of this set of data.

Median, also called median, is a number in the middle of a set of data arranged in sequence, which represents a value in a sample, population or probability distribution, and can divide the value set into equal upper and lower parts.

For a finite set of numbers, we can sort all the observed values and find the middle one as the median. If there are even numbers of observations, the average of the middle two values is usually taken as the median.
