They asked my salary range, what should I say? - 5 months and counting

I have been out of work for 15 weeks and feel pressure to accept less. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I do not want to price myself out. How do you research fairly?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 5 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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