Surveys & Data


Regional Data

EA conducts a wide variety of surveys covering cash compensation for over 200 job classifications, policies, practices and employee benefits—for all levels of employees. These surveys are an invaluable resource in developing and reviewing a company’s “total compensation” package. What are other organizations paying? Is your benefit package competitive? EA’s surveys help employers monitor the market and make sound management decisions.  Our survey information is arranged in easy-to-read formats. To increase the value of the compensation data, EA’s special reports can be provided to isolate various cuts—such as, industry types and employment size. 

National Data

In this day of high tech, internet, and hit or miss service organizations there exists a group of associations that has quietly been conducting and maintaining some of the most comprehensive wage, salary, and benefit surveys in the country.  The Employer Association Group is an affiliation of 63 locally based, independently operated employer associations across the country whose function it is to assist their member companies with Management and Human Relations issues through an offering of services on both the local and national level.  The EAG (Employer Association Group) was formed 95 years ago by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) as a partnership.  These 63 EAG associations represent nearly 50,000 businesses (4 million workers) in their local communities across the nation.  The primary reason cited for joining an EAG association is the access to valuable data and information.  Each association conducts annual wage and salary surveys (at the local level) along with benefit surveys and special industry surveys.  Many of the Associations also work together to co-sponsor the following seven EAG National Surveys:


Ø Executive Compensation        Ø Wage and Salary   

ØSales Compensation                Ø Information Technology        

Ø Engineering                            Ø Pay and Range Adjustment

Ø Policies and Benefits
