They asked my salary range, what should I say? - what worked for you?

A recruiter asked for my salary expectations on a first call as I look for work as a forklift operator. I am in Atlanta, in case local advice matters. 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.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
