The salary figures point to a market centered on mid-range hotel roles rather than a concentration at the extremes. Among the 89 postings that included pay, the median sat at $65,500, with the lower quartile at $52,573 and the upper quartile at $79,284; the minimum was $30,350 and the maximum was $145,000. Read together, those figures suggest that most advertised pay clustered in a middle band, while a smaller set of postings reached much lower and much higher compensation levels.
Work arrangement was overwhelmingly on-site, which aligns with the board’s most common tags such as Hospitality, Hotel Operations, Housekeeping, Guest Services, and Front Desk. Remote share moved from 0% in July to 0.1% in August before returning to 0% in September, matching the quarter’s very small count of remote and hybrid postings. Among postings that specified a job type, full-time was far more common than part-time or contract, reinforcing the picture of a board dominated by in-person operational hotel work.
By employment type: Full Time 1,377 · Part Time 178 · Contract 6.
