EXPANDING HOW WE COLLECT AND PUBLISH WAGE DATA

Beginning this month, we are expanding the wage data we collect and publish. From this Monthly Job Report and forward, we will publish not only average but also minimum and maximum wages. These data points should allow all members of the community to understand the range of wages offered and how best to choose the most financially rewarding jobs given the training, position, experience required, and location of specific job offers.

Number of Jobs Posted This Month

This area provides data about the number of jobs posts on the leading CRM job boards: Twin Cairns, ShovelBums and archaeologyfieldwork.com. We are aware that Indeed, Monster and other general job boards are used by CRM companies. However, these general job boards are generally used to manage the application process and are not where most employees first learn about a job.

Job Posts

This area records the number of jobs posted for the past twelve & six months by job type. This data illustrates trends in hiring and demand for specific job types throughout the United States. The term ‘Other’ refers to jobs that do not involve field archaeology but are directly related to CRM (GIS, Lab Technician, Museum Curator, etc).

Wages

This area presents average, maximum and minimum hourly wages offered to CRM sector employees by position and by employer types. While some employers break down upper field management to Project Managers and Principal investigators, most job posts do not include such distinction. Therefore, we aggregate both categories into one class of employees. ‘Other’ refers to positions offered by nonprofits, museums & universities.

Benefits

This area documents the percentage of jobs where employers list benefits as part of the job post. To be considered as offering benefits, the job post must include health insurance and paid days off. Some jobs offer contribution towards retirement plans (401K and similar). If this is the only benefit offered, we list such job posts as not providing benefits to employees.

It is possible that some job posts do not list but offer benefits to employees. Because benefits are not listed on such posts, these posts are tabulated as offering no benefits.
