Salary Information


Salary information isn't easy to find. Comprehensive and detailed salary surveys are usually collected by Companies or Commercial Services and the information is rarely available to outsiders or is available only at a prohibitive price. For the job seeker most of the usable salary information will come from trade and professional associations. Often this information is only published in summary form or available to members only.

You must understand your labor market situation to benefit from salary surveys. The salary rates for some positions are determined on a national (or even international) basis. The salaries for other positions are based solely on the local labor market conditions. For example, the salary for a CEO at a Fortune 500 firm is based on salaries paid for similar positions in the USA or Canada. The Salary paid to a Bookkeeper in Dallas, Texas is based on the Dallas labor market and the salary for a similar position in San Jose, California is not relevant.
