Compensation and Benefits Surveys

For more than 30 years, the Manufacturers' Association of Northwest Pennsylvania has offered its members a variety of options when it comes to their survey needs. Our members have relied on our surveys to deliver up-to-date, accurate compensation and benefits information to help them stay on top of today's labor market trends.

Wage and Salary Surveys

Our Wage and Salary Surveys are the most comprehensive report of wages and salaries in the area. We offer our members a means of benchmarking their compensation practices against organizations in their local recruitment area or nationwide. Two different surveys available to meet our members' needs are:

2006 Regional Wage and Salary Survey
