When researching salaries for a particular occupation, try several of these sources.
Each has its strengths and weaknesses; therefore, obtaining a composite view should
be more helpful and provide better accuracy. If you are seeking information on starting
salaries for a new graduate, you will want to look at the values in the lower percentiles
of salary range. Another useful salary source is to use a job board, such asindeed.com, and search for the position you are interested in. Review the results for salary
information.
Search by specific region of a state. You will also enter occupation title, years
of experience and education details.
(The NACE Salary Calculator is provided in partnership with Job Search Intelligence
(JSI). Using patents-pending algorithms, the calculator creates compensation values
from datasets which are proprietary to JSI and are derived from: U.S. Department of
Labor, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission, U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Federal Reserve and
proprietary resources.)
These are websites often used for salary sources in various publications. Although
you may be prompted to sign-up or possibly to pay a fee, you should not have to do
this to see the information.
Search for salary information by job title or company and city. Data is limited and
based on information submitted by employees in this field or in the company.
