Hey everyone, I was frustrated that most online resources on pay were primarily made for high(er) wage salary workers (i.e. Glassdoor, Indeed) and that there was a lack of easily digestible resources for hourly workers, so some friends and I created a tool to help hourly workers find out what jobs are paying in their area.
When setting this up, I was surprised to find significant differences in pay between employers for similar jobs. Even the same job from the same employer can have significant differences in pay in the same city. I hope that this tool can empower us to understand what fair pay is and what our options are out there.
Currently, the data we have is collected from public job postings found online (most of these are from the new wage transparency laws in states like New York, Colorado, and California with more states hopefully to come). If you want to help others get paid fairly, you can also submit your pay anonymously through a simple form.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the tool and, if you like it, how we can make the tool better!
