Does anyone know a good resource for salary surveys besides paying Milliman $400? I'm just after a study for personal use in an upcoming negotiation. I want this job to work, but it would require relocation and I don't know the market where I'm looking (Portland).

Anyone have any recommendations on where to get the information? This is in the financial industry.

No, but no matter how many times I read it, I can't get my mind to accept that the word you typed is salary, instead of slavery.

Odd how that works out...

I recently found this on a site: http://www.bls.gov/oco/

It's the U.S. Department of Labor and it has an A-Z listing of occupations. Inside each occupation it'll list:

* the training and education needed
* earnings
* expected job prospects
* what workers do on the job
* working conditions

It's not region specific though.

Thank you, chromite. I do need something region-specific. The BLS also doesn't cover many jobs in my industry in anything more than incredibly broad categories.

If it helps, I would like to reassure you that I am not starting a sweatshop!

Does Salary.com work for what you need?

salary.com is pretty good although you should consider your company culture and payroll too
