How “typical” is worked out
"Typical" is the middle of those 22 other postings' minimums and of their maximums, leaving this job out. The allied health pay page for Washington counts every allied health posting in Washington with a pay range, not only pharmacy technician jobs, so its typical range is different: $31.32–$47.35. A posted range isn't what a new hire is paid: where someone starts depends on experience and, at union employers, the step on the pay scale. 1 of these 22 postings also offers a sign-on or hiring bonus (up to $3,000), not counted here.
