Salaries are a touchy subject--especially in American society.

That's why meaningful information about what certain jobs pay is hard to come by.  And the data that is out there is usually available only in expensive salary surveys.



As a service to you, my curious readers, here is a Salary Survey for 2005.




Highlights:

Boring administrative jobs got a boost this year.

Compensation/Benefits managers got an average 19.3% raise this year.   (Anyone else see anything funny here?)

The pay gap between sales reps and customer service reps continues to widen.

Chief Information Officers took a pay cut (Ha, ha!)

"Tumbler Operators" make only $8.82/hour, which is still more than I used to make delivering bad Chinese food to Chief Information Officers




Be sure to have a good laugh next time you bump into your company's CIO in the hallway.

And be nice to Tumbler Operators.
