What U.S. employers actually put on the table beyond salary
We parsed 1,023,179 active U.S. job postings for non-salary compensation. Only 17.2% disclose any signal, but the ones that do tend to stack several at once. The clearest read is by industry: every sector has a distinctive fingerprint of bonus, equity, 401(k) match, tuition, and relocation, and the lift index against the market average is dramatic.
