Accessibility Statement

Last updated: April 2026

AmericaByNumbers is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards.

Our Commitment

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Measures We Take

AmericaByNumbers takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:

• Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML elements and structure to ensure content is meaningful and navigable by assistive technologies.
• Responsive Design: Our website is designed to work across devices of all sizes, from desktop to mobile.
• Text Alternatives: We strive to provide text alternatives for non-text content.
• Color Contrast: We aim for sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background colors.
• Keyboard Navigation: Core functionality is accessible via keyboard.
• Data Tables: Our salary and statistics tables use proper table markup with headers for screen reader compatibility.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of our website may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards:

• Interactive Charts: Some SVG-based visualizations (such as our US salary heatmap) may have limited screen reader support. We provide equivalent data in table format alongside these visualizations.
• Third-Party Content: Some content served by third parties (advertisements via Google AdSense, affiliate partner widgets) may not meet the same accessibility standards.
• PDF Documents: Older PDF documents may not be fully accessible.

Conformance Status

The WCAG standard defines three levels of conformance: A, AA, and AAA. AmericaByNumbers is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Compatibility

AmericaByNumbers is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
• Screen magnification software
• Speech recognition software

Our website is designed to be compatible with recent versions of major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Remediation Plan & Testing

We conduct regular accessibility reviews of our website using both automated tools (axe DevTools, Lighthouse) and manual testing. Our remediation plan for known limitations:

• Interactive Charts: Adding ARIA labels and screen reader descriptions — target Q3 2026
• Third-Party Content: Monitoring third-party compliance and providing accessible alternatives — ongoing
• Keyboard Navigation: Regular testing and improvements — ongoing

Last accessibility review: April 2026.

We are aware of the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882), which establishes accessibility requirements for products and services. The EAA applies from June 28, 2025. We are working to ensure compliance with applicable requirements as they come into effect.
