Websites providing average salary info for positions?

Asked by jenandcolin (2301

I am applying for jobs that ask for salary requirements. I am unsure of what to ask for. Does anyone know of websites where I might find average salaries for specific positions? (I realize salaries will vary according to many factors, including geographic location).
Thank you!

This site which is the government’s Occupational Outlook Handbook lets you search for occupations by title and gives working conditions, outlook and average salaries.

Try the CareerBuilder calculator. It’s by job title, can also drill down to state or city.

Give glassdoor.com a try—you can search by position title and location as well as company name to see specific ranges appropriate for each title/role at each company.
