What our data shows for Project Management Specialists

RoleHue publishes 238 salary records for Project Management Specialists, across 11 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $119,159 at the 25th percentile to $167,319 at the 75th, a spread of $48,160 around $141,496. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $141,496 figure rather than in dollars (34% of it), that spread is wider than 60% of the roles we cover.

Mountain View, CA carries the highest median we hold for the role at $188,487; Houston, TX the lowest at $100,880, a gap of $87,607. The middle half of those city medians, weighted by how many records each city contributes, spans $38,771, narrower than the $48,160 band within cities: for Project Management Specialists, where a record sits within its own metro separates our numbers more than which metro it came from.

No single metro carries most of this: the largest share is New York, NY, with 38 of the 238 records we publish for this role (16%). Evidence clears 25 records in 3 of the 11 cities; for the rest, the city median we show rests on fewer records than that.
