Salary expectations: how do you answer? - what worked for you?

I have been out of work for 12 weeks and feel pressure to accept less. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I do not want to price myself out. How do you research fairly?

Asking about the range for the role first worked for me. Some recruiters share it.

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