Negotiating pay when I have been out of work - 16 weeks in

I do not know whether to give a range or ask for theirs. I am in Toledo, in case local advice matters. I also do not want to sell myself short. Does giving a range hurt?

Check several sources for pay in Toledo, then pick a range where the low end is one you can live with.

Benefits matter too. A slightly lower rate with better coverage was better for me.
