Salary ranges

We already know that an Executive Officer can earn between 38,260 MAD and 125,700 MAD on average in Western Sahara. This is known as the range in statistics.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 86,740 MAD, and 50% of the population earn more than 86,740 MAD.

If you are earning more than the median salary, that's a good indicator that you are being paid well.

If you're not earning more than the median salary, your objective should be to increase your earnings to be at least as high as the median salary (which you can do by asking for a pay rise, looking for a better paying job, etc).

The difference between a median and an average salary

The median and average salary are both indicators you can use to see if you are being paid fairly based on the overall population.

  • If your salary is higher than the average and the median salary, you are earning well compared to others.
