How it is measured

Each Labor Condition Application states the salary the employer offers for the position. Kitegraph takes the offered wage on Google's certified full-time applications from the Department of Labor disclosure files, annualizes hourly figures, and reports the median per federal fiscal year beside the median across all employers. These are salaries offered on applications, not a payroll survey.

Google's median offer rose from $102,200 in fiscal 2008 to $184,000 in 2025, its highest on record. It has run above the median across all employers in every year of the series.
