How we calculate this: we gather current dental hygienist postings near Chicago, IL from job boards across the web and keep only those where the employer states pay. Estimates made by job boards are left out. Each posting counts once at the midpoint of its range, converted to an hourly rate where needed (hourly and yearly are compared at 40 hours a week). It reflects what practices are advertising now — not a survey of what everyone currently earns.
