What the machine operator ads show
Advertised pay for machine operator jobs in the Philippines is tightly bunched, with the middle half of ads between ₱15,000 and ₱19,500, and it leans upward: the top quarter starts ₱3,000 above the median, the bottom quarter only ₱1,500 below it. Ads bunch on one figure: ₱15,000 to ₱15,999 alone accounts for 25% of them. The mix of job boards changed from September, so this month's figure is not compared with the last.
