Your question is SQL Average Salary Query. Start with the requirements and the one table on the right.

Run and submit as often as you like. When you're ready, talk me through your approach or go straight to the code.

You need to log in / sign up to run or submit.

Problem

U.S. Bancorp's workforce reporting team needs the average salary for currently active employees. Write a PostgreSQL query that calculates this single summary value from the employees table.

Requirements

  1. Include only employees whose employment_status is Active.
  2. Return the average of non-NULL salary values in a column named average_salary.

AVG automatically ignores NULL salary values, so employees without a recorded salary should not affect the calculation.
