Figures are medians of advertised monthly salaries (IQD). Sectors with fewer than 5 samples are omitted.

How we calculate this: figures are derived from real job postings aggregated daily across Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. We use the advertised minimum monthly salary, normalise city names, and report the median to limit the effect of outliers. Source: Iraq Jobs Market by Nabu Analytics.
