SLA -- 2008 Salary Survey & Workplace Study

SLA -- 2008 Salary Survey & Workplace Study

The 2008 SLA Salary Survey results show that the average salary increases for SLA members have again outpaced inflation. Based on salaries as of April 1, the mean percent increase in salaries for 2008 over 2007 was 5.3% for U.S. based respondents. This is slightly higher (0.2%) than the mean percent increase from 2006 to 2007. For the same 12 month period, the Consumer Price Index rose less than 4%. Salaries for Canadian members were 5.4% higher on April 1, 2008, than a year earlier, while the CPI had increased just less than 4% in the same period.

The average salary for U.S. members who answered the survey was $71,812, compared with $69,426 in 2007 and $67,400 in 2006. The mean for Canadian members was Can$ 69,971 compared with Can$ 67,171 in 2007 and Can$ $65,522 in 2006.

The SLA Salary Survey also includes data from members of SLA Europe. These data are separated into two categories: U.K. and other European members. The average salary for U.K. respondents was £42,674, with a reported increase of 4.2% over the previous year. For other European members, the average salary was €64,986, an increase of 7.0% from 2007.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
