Salary Checkup

DOES YOUR SALARY NEED A CHECK UP?

How much are you worth? Our annual Value of Professional Services – known informally as the salary survey – will help you answer that question.

Click here to check out what your occupational demographic earns.

Please note: This is a corrected version of the earlier summary document, published in the October PEGG. Unfortunately, a technical glitch sabotaged the graph and table page in the PEGG version. A pie chart showing weekly hours of work was short its descriptive information. We apologize for the error.
