Continuing Series: What’s In It For Me? 
Demand, inflation and increased competition for the most-sought-after candidates have resulted in a rise in salaries over recent years. It’s no surprise that the salary survey is among the most popular services that APEGGA provides to members.
Officially known as the Value of Professional Services, this survey boasts the most comprehensive source in existence of Alberta salary information for engineers and geoscientists. In 2007, 52 per cent of all downloaded files from the APEGGA website were related to the salary survey.
