Salary Info

Resources

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 as indeed.com, and search for the position you are interested in. Review the results for salary information.
