Colorado cleared-job salary questions
How much do Colorado security-clearance jobs pay?
In the current inventory, 569 listings have a safely parsed annual range. Their median range midpoint is $132,000, with disclosed endpoints spanning $47,614 to $300,500. This snapshot changes as employer postings change.
Is this an average salary?
No. The midpoint is the median of posted annual-range midpoints, not an average wage, accepted offer, or compensation estimate. It does not include bonuses, equity, benefits, hourly pay, or ambiguous source text.
Do higher clearance requirements always pay more?
No. Posted pay also reflects role, seniority, specialty, employer, workplace, schedule, and other requirements. The clearance table describes this site's current listings and does not isolate the effect of clearance level.
Why do some listings have no salary?
Salary is optional in the publication policy. A job can remain useful when the employer source provides a title, Colorado workplace, clearance requirement, timing, and application URL but no interpretable compensation range.
Method: all figures use currently active, approved, direct-employer Colorado listings. “New” means first seen by Cleared Colorado in the stated window; it does not measure employer headcount or filled roles. Salary coverage includes source disclosure, while range statistics exclude hourly or ambiguous values.
