The market data shall be made available – per benchmark job (see Annex 5) – in the most commonly used currency of disbursement and with the following differentiation: (a)Basic Salary at the mean, the median and the 75th percentile (data at the 90th percentile is highly desirable); (b)Total Cash at the mean, the median and the 75th percentile (data at the 90th percentile is highly desirable)2 ; UNITED NATIONS VOLUNTEERS (UNV),
