Last year, 30,055 of you did just that, taking time out of your busy day to answer the sometimes detailed and often thought-provoking questions in the second A List Apart Survey. This year’s findings paint a clearer picture of the distinctions between full-time and freelance web professionals: how you work, what you earn, and what you love about the job. Interestingly, too, despite the brutality of a global recession that was already in full swing (like an axe) when we offered the survey, most respondents revealed a surprisingly high level of job security, satisfaction, and confidence in the future. http://tc.eserver.org/34033.html http://tc.eserver.org/34033.html Information about average technical writer salaries in the United States. http://tc.eserver.org/33919.html http://tc.eserver.org/33919.html The STC France Chapter has conducted several salary surveys among its members and non-members living and working in France. The most recent STC France salary survey was conducted in 2006. While these surveys cannot be considered statistically representative of the technical communication job market in France, they may be useful in exploring the value of experience, responsibilities, and skills and their influence on pay scales across the industry. http://tc.eserver.org/33809.html http://tc.eserver.org/33809.html A central element of any job we hold is the compensation we receive. While compensation is only one factor in our descision to accept a position, it's how many of us keep score and the way all of us pay the bills. The WritersUA Salary Survey provides you with detailed and comprehensive information about compensation for user assistance professionals. Our 2009 Salary Survey results were viewed on our web site by over 21,000 visitors. We hope you find these new survey results useful in gauging where you stand amongst your peers. http://tc.eserver.org/33250.html http://tc.eserver.org/33250.html The goal of the 2000 Usability Professionals' Association (UPA) Member Profile and Salary Survey was to gather information that would enable the association to understand the make-up of the membership in order to ensure their needs are being met. http://tc.eserver.org/33251.html http://tc.eserver.org/33251.html This year, for the fi rst time, we've included results by employer as well as information on the types of technique in use today and a breakdown of salary by experience. Members of the Usability Professionals Association are, of course, entitled to the raw data so that they can conduct their own analysis. http://tc.eserver.org/33252.html http://tc.eserver.org/33252.html The Argus Center for Information Architects received 229 responses to this survey, which ran from January 3 through January 10, 2001. http://tc.eserver.org/33253.html http://tc.eserver.org/33253.html This survey was conducted June 18-21, 2003. A total of 186 responses were collected. You can also download the full results including open-ended responses, a comma-delimited text file. http://tc.eserver.org/33254.html http://tc.eserver.org/33254.html Most people looking for the first time at the results of the UK Chapter's recent salary survey will rush to find out where they come on the overall pay scale. But the survey asked far more than just 'how much do you make' and because it was widely publicised and open to all, the results have some interesting things to say about the state of our industry. http://tc.eserver.org/33255.html http://tc.eserver.org/33255.html We asked respondents to state their total annual compensation from salary and bonuses; we did not include stock options and other benefits. Given that most stock options have been under water recently, cash compensation may be the most important number anyway. http://tc.eserver.org/33256.html http://tc.eserver.org/33256.html The first UPA UK salary survey results show a range of £18,500 to £90,000 paid to British usability specialists, with a mean of £37,801 and a median of £35,000. http://tc.eserver.org/33257.html http://tc.eserver.org/33257.html Report outlining the results of a usability salary survey for usability, HCI and user experience design professionals jointly conducted by Tania Lang from Peak Usability and Pabini Gabriel-Petit from Spirit Softworks in March/April 2004. http://tc.eserver.org/32258.html http://tc.eserver.org/32258.html Gives an in-depth overview of the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics information regarding salary data for technical communicators. http://tc.eserver.org/32160.html http://tc.eserver.org/32160.html Drawing on data drawn from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment Statistics (OES), the Salary Database provides more reliable data collected at a much finer level of detail than was possible with STC’s old survey. http://tc.eserver.org/31942.html http://tc.eserver.org/31942.html It's hard to say how much money full time freelance technical writers make. But we do have some data on salaries made by full time technical writers working for a company. http://tc.eserver.org/29213.html http://tc.eserver.org/29213.html This article reports United States salary data from the April 2003 survey of Society for Technical Communication members who identify themselves as educators. It provides analysis of salary data based on type of institution, rank, tenure status, experience, education level, sex, and age. It also reports on benefits, administrative responsibilities, job satisfaction, and program size. http://tc.eserver.org/27792.html http://tc.eserver.org/27792.html During 2005 the Usability Professionals' Association surveyed members of the user experience field to learn: who our respondents are, where they work and what they do; how much they are paid; their satisfaction with UPA. http://tc.eserver.org/27671.html http://tc.eserver.org/27671.html A central element of any job we hold is the compensation we receive. While compensation is only one factor in our descision to accept a position, it's how many of us keep score and the way all of us pay the bills. The WritersUA Salary Survey provides you with detailed and comprehensive information about compensation for user assistance professionals. http://tc.eserver.org/27478.html http://tc.eserver.org/27478.html Over the last several years, entry-level salaries have dropped, while pay for experienced usability staff has been more stable. http://tc.eserver.org/26670.html http://tc.eserver.org/26670.html To better understand the Rocky Mountain region’s technical communication market, the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication surveyed its members in December 2003. We received a 34 percent response rate (down from a 52% response rate in 2001). This online survey was the first of its kind for STC RMC. In this report, we profile our representative members and summarize independent contractor responses. Results reported as 'employed' are respondents that are employed but are not independent freelancers. http://tc.eserver.org/26054.html http://tc.eserver.org/26054.html Thanks to Makarand, Paresh, Mira, and other contributors, some of our questions are answered after a gap of two years and we have some takeaways from the salary survey. http://tc.eserver.org/26052.html http://tc.eserver.org/26052.html Comparing trends in India and the U.S. gives a sense that the Indian technical communication community is on a strong footing and can gain a competitive edge by focusing on some key areas. http://tc.eserver.org/26056.html http://tc.eserver.org/26056.html Among the constant chattering noise that these numbers are making, they also sing some common tunes. http://tc.eserver.org/26057.html http://tc.eserver.org/26057.html Once our profession is known outside IT, the scope for technical writers will grow in geometric proportions. Clearly, there are good times ahead. http://tc.eserver.org/26058.html http://tc.eserver.org/26058.html The movement of jobs from the U.S. and other countries to India has really fueled salary growth. http://tc.eserver.org/26059.html http://tc.eserver.org/26059.html While there are a few obvious anomalies in the numbers, the average salary of people with less than a year's experience being more than that of 1-2 years range, mostly the numbers appear to be credible. http://tc.eserver.org/26060.html http://tc.eserver.org/26060.html Employers are not looking for certification or relevant technical writing educational qualifications while hiring or while designing the compensation package. http://tc.eserver.org/25928.html http://tc.eserver.org/25928.html STC India chapter conducted a salary survey of Technical Communicators working in India. This web based, anonymous survey was open to all Technical Communicators working in India including those who are not members of STC. The survey was open from 20th April 2005 to 10th May 2005. A total of 455 respondents completed the survey. http://tc.eserver.org/25812.html http://tc.eserver.org/25812.html It is a common observation that most professional translators are not paid well. Most attribute this to the low perceived status of translators and their work. Because of the low pay, many good translators have left the profession for other jobs. This line of thought sounds reasonable but it is also highly evaluative which makes empirical testing impossible. This paper offers an alternative explanation which is descriptive in nature and draws heavily from the theories of information economics. http://tc.eserver.org/25266.html http://tc.eserver.org/25266.html The Society for Technical Communication recently surveyed its members regarding their current salaries and benefits. The questionnaire was Web-based, and STC sent invitations to more than 12,500 technical communicators. More than 2,000 questionnaires were completed, for a response rate of 16 percent. http://tc.eserver.org/22030.html http://tc.eserver.org/22030.html As you might expect, salaries vary considerably based on location. I’ve looked over various surveys and believe the following are representative of salaries currently being offered. http://tc.eserver.org/21321.html http://tc.eserver.org/21321.html This article provides supplemental information to STC's 2004 Salary Survey. http://tc.eserver.org/21182.html http://tc.eserver.org/21182.html In April 2003, STC launched its first salary survey for full-time faculty members teaching in U.S. technical communication programs at 2 and 4 year colleges and universities.

Sure enough, about half of the survey respondents said that they were underpaid and about half said that their pay was ‘fair’. Only one person was said he was ‘overpaid’. http://tc.eserver.org/19164.html http://tc.eserver.org/19164.html The STC Austin chapter conducts a salary survey each year. If the survey is in progress, you can download a survey here. The most recent results are always posted here. http://tc.eserver.org/11913.html http://tc.eserver.org/11913.html A survey of 1,078 user experience professionals finds that usability specialists make more money than designers and writers in the same field. In all three areas, salaries are highest in the U.S., lower in Canada and Asia, and much lower in Europe and Australia. http://tc.eserver.org/10844.html http://tc.eserver.org/10844.html A guide to job types, employers, work environment, and salaries. http://tc.eserver.org/10005.html http://tc.eserver.org/10005.html Every year, STC surveys its membership who work as technical editors and writers in the U.S. and Canada.
