I would like to start a GIS Salary Survey for 2007 and invite all members of government, private, and non-profits to post. This survey will help all of us as we negotiate new salaries and benefits in our GIS field.
I would like to keep it simple and just ask for the following information:
1) Agency Name 2) Position title(s) 3) Salary 4) Benefits 5) Job discription(s) if any
Thanks in advance to all that participate! Michael A. Carson, GIS Coordinator, City of Santa Monica
