Median Salary (SGD) #

Note: You can click on the legend to toggle the visibility of the respective line charts.

In general, the trend for all the jobs seems to be increasing overall. In 2020 due to covid 19 (Late 2019), there was a drop in overall median salary and another drop from 2022 to 2023 possibly due to the worsening job market and the rampant layoffs.

Currently, the highest median salary is for Law graduates, followed by Information & Digital Technologies and Engineering.
