    What employers put in the vacancy. People may be paid more or less, and service charge is not included.

    Hourly, daily and yearly pay is turned into a month. US dollars at a fixed MVR 15.42.

  • Open and recent

    Vacancies open now or posted in the last 6 months, each counted once, duplicates removed.

  • Median of midpoints

    Each listing counts at the middle of its range. The usual range is the middle half of listings.

  • At least 3 listings

    Rows with fewer are hidden; under 5 they are shown lighter as a thin sample.
