The ASQ Salary Survey - What Are You Getting Paid?

Are you receiving compensation which correlates with the ASQ salary survey?

 

[Jim Webb]

I have not seen the survey, there may be others that have not. Where can it be found?

Where is the salary survey?

It's in the ASQ's most recent magazine issue. I realize that many visitors here may not have access to it not being a member of the ASQ, but I decided to do the poll anyway because of the discussion of it in another recent thread here.

Does anyone know if the survey is online?

The link requires one to be a member. It asks for ID and password. Thanks anyway.

Jim,

If you give me a few details, I'll look up the data for you and give you the basics...

The data comes in 7 sections:

1. Salary By Job Title
2. Salary by # of Years Experience in the Quality Field
3. Salary by Company Size & Location of HQ
4. Salary by Industrial Classification
5. Salary by Highest Level of Education
6. Salary by ASQ & RAB Cert.
7. Salary by $ix $igma Training

I'll look up any one or all if you like. Even post it private if you prefer.

Cheers!!!

In the magazine there are a lot of different ways the data is presented. Michael T listed the main breakdowns above in hs post. If you get more specific, we can *try* to look up what you're looking for.

For example:
Salary by # of Years Experience in the Quality Field is broken down into 16 different categories (Job Titles). So - let's say you are a 'Manager' and you have 6 to 10 years experience. The mean is about US$66K and the median is about US$65K.

Now - all this said, on page 26 of Quality Progress there is a block at the bottom right of the page which states: "...Visit the ASQ's web site for more data from this year's salary survey...". I did visit the site a while ago, but I sorta got the info I was interested in from the rag and didn't scrutinize the stuff on their site. So - I can't say if there really is more information posted there than what is in the magazine or not. Maybe one of the others has taken a closer look and tell us whether its there really is more information than is in the magazine as the 'notice' in the magazine seems to imply. :thedeal:

Area

Doesn't take into account, where you live. The difference, between living in South Carolina, and New York.???

The Company Location Issue

Not as far as I can tell. But, I haven't really sat down and read through it. I admit - I did another poor survey. I should not have put in "...For My Location...". When I first breezed through it I made an assumption that there was some compensdation factor for location. There is:

3. Salary by Company Size & Location of HQ

But for location of Co HQ it ony gives 7 regions of the world. You've brought up a good point.

Having just been to an interview in Boston, I figured a net in Cincinnati which I would accept. But based upon what I think I'm worth - not the salary survey. I told them they'd have to meet the equivalent in Boston $. I used a number of relocation salary 'calculators' and based on US$65K in Cincy, they varied from US$85K to US$115K in Boston dollars. The relocation calculators were pretty neat. All were based upon housing costs, but a couple threw in state/local taxes and various other considerations. I can tell you one thing - living in Boston is NOT cheap.

But as to the survey, I'm guess that location is reflected to some degree in those figures which include the standard deviation. We need a statistics expert to weigh in here.

I did change the Poll wording. If anyone wants to change their vote, just let me know.
