How these figures work
- From the 550 content creator roles open on Jobs for Creators on 21 October 2026, gathered from employers' own careers pages and hiring systems and checked every hour.
- Only the pay employers advertise: 158 of these roles list a figure we can count. A range like $60,000–$80,000 counts as its midpoint.
- Each currency and pay period is reported on its own and never converted, and a figure needs at least 5 roles behind it.
- Figures that are clearly in the wrong unit, like an hourly rate filed as a salary, are left out. The page updates as roles open and close.
