How this is calculated. Figures cover the 387 open COO/operations and personal injury attorney postings currently listed on PI Law Jobs, with the same job from several job boards counted once. Salaries use the midpoint of each posted annual range (299 postings list pay); hourly pay is excluded. Bonus, benefit, and requirement figures come from the wording of the 353 postings whose full description we have, so a firm that offers a perk but doesn't mention it isn't counted. Closed and dead postings are removed every week, so the numbers reflect the market right now.
