I appreciate the website. Since most companies have HOURLY wages, not annual salaries, your neighbors DO NOT know what you make a year. They may understand your minimum hour guarentee and be able to know the minimum you make a year, but not what you actually make unless you said you only sit at home on reserve and get the minimums- but then you'd have disclosed as many of the puzzle pieces as APC.

This website was a great help in getting near real time and accurate, even when free information out there when in the job market!

I haven't been in the situation where I felt the need to hide my wages, but I've been in the gov't for 12 years where my baseline wages are known- not my tax status, per diem or other income... I don't want my 1040s public access- but folks knew what I "made" a year.
