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.

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.
