SPE SALARY SURVEY SETS ANOTHER PARTICIPATION RECORD

2009 marked the third straight year that more SPE members than ever before participated in the annual Salary Survey, as respondents neared the 13,500 mark. This is particularly notable given that as recently as 2006, survey participation was at less than 3,000 worldwide. It’s very good news for those interested in making use of this information, because the more extensive the database, the more it allows for comprehensive, statistically significant analyses of the broadest possible spectrum of geographies, jobs, and demographic categories.
Among the 2009 participants, over 7,000 reported as working in a country outside the United States, as the survey continues to become more global in scope. A grand total of 97 countries were represented in this year’s survey, with SPE members reporting receiving pay in 63 different currencies. Record-high participation rates were presented by the regions of Africa, Australia/New
Zealand, North Sea/North Atlantic, Northern & Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. Also, more women than ever before were represented in this year’s survey, totaling over 10% of the 2009 respondents.
For the third year in a row, the survey was conducted on SPE’s behalf by Western Management Group (WMG). The survey took place over a five-week period from the beginning of July through early August of 2009, with all professional SPE members invited to participate via email. The data was collected in local currency via a username-and-password-credentialed online questionnaire, and the database was thoroughly edited, with incomplete and/or clearly erroneous records deleted. This information is held in the strictest confidentiality, to be released in aggregated form only.
