What the machine operator ads show
Advertised pay for machine operator jobs in Metro Cebu is tightly bunched, with the middle half of ads between ₱14,138 and ₱17,000, and it leans upward: the top quarter starts ₱2,000 above the median, the bottom quarter only ₱863 below it. Only 17 ads stated pay this month, so a handful of new postings can move these figures. The mix of job boards changed from September, so this month's figure is not compared with the last.
