What the cook / chef ads show
Advertised pay for cook / chef jobs in the Philippines is tightly bunched, with the middle half of ads between ₱15,500 and ₱21,000, and it leans downward: the bottom quarter starts ₱3,500 below the median, the top quarter just ₱2,000 above it. Ads bunch on one figure: ₱19,000 to ₱19,999 alone accounts for 21% of them. The mix of job boards changed from September, so this month's figure is not compared with the last.
