HR Insider’s Salary Report Full-Year 2017 presents an analysis of the salary

data specified in each job posting on VietnamWorks.com from January 01,
2017 to December 31, 2017. Most of the jobs are for the Vietnam Market.

Each employer advertising their job offers on VietnamWorks.com was asked to

fill in 2 fields, minimum salary and maximum salary they would like to offer for
each of their job vacancies.
These 2 fields are the basis of the salary data we’ve compiled in this report.
Salary range is based on minimum salary field. If the jobs had no minimum
salary, maximum salary will be filed in. There are 7 predefined salary ranges:
less than $250; $251 - $500; $501 - $700; $701 - $1,000; $1,001 - $2,000;
$2,001 - $3,000 and more than $3,000.
For example, a job posted with minimum salary of $260 and maximum salary
of $1000 will be listed in the range of $251-$500. A job posted without
minimum salary and with maximum salary of $1,000 will be listed in the range
of $751-$1,000.
Employers were given a choice whether to show their
salaries to jobseekers or not on VietnamWorks.com. We
respect employers’ discretion, and all the data included
in this report, while comprehensive, does not reveal any
specific employer’s posted salary.
There are many factors determining a jobseeker’s
decision to view and apply to a job. Salary is one, but not
all of them. The purpose of this report is to state facts
based on real data of salary, views, and applications per
job post, not to draw a comprehensive conclusion on the
impact of salary on jobseekers’ behaviors.
All salary data used in this report is monthly salary.
