What Java jobs pay

Posted pay ranges only, and most jobs do not state one. Skills cluster in particular kinds of job, so part of any gap is the job and not the skill. This compares postings; it does not say that learning a skill raises your pay.

The median posted yearly pay (the middle of each range) is $194k across 1,554 jobs that name Java and state a range. For all jobs that name a skill it is $165k, so Java jobs post 18% more.
