Salary Surveys
Because the salary climate is constantly changing, you need to know where to find the latest data. Here's a list of the top compensation resources:

  • Bureau of Labor Statistics
  • Securities and Exchange Commission
  • JobStar (www.jobstar.org)
  • The American Almanac of Jobs and Salaries
  • Professional trade journals and business magazines
  • Newspaper and online job listings
  • A career coach

Research these salary surveys and get a feel for what salary is typical for the type of work you are seeking, in your part of the country. Does the dollar figure fit with the Salary Thinksheet you created? If not, you may be looking for the wrong job or need to adjust your Needs column in the thinksheet.
