American Salaries and Wages Survey by Joyce P. Simkin

Do you want to know how much a Social and Human Service Assistant gets paid in Massachusetts? Interested in a career in Physical Therapy, and want to know where the salaries for these positions are highest in the country? Did you know that there is such a job as “Chicken Egg Harvester” (paid at 9.36/hour)?

All of this information and much more, can be found in the latest edition of the American Salaries and Wages Survey. It compiles information from 583 sources, with lists of 2796 occupations from all the US states and territories - you are bound to find something interesting (like a geographical comparison of the salaries for Occupational Therapists)!

But hey, you don’t have to take our word for it; check this book’s review in CHOICE Reviews Online

Looking to find even more information on the salaries in your domain? See the CRL’s Salary Information research guide.
