Check out the results of our 2008 Career and Salary Survey to find out.

In our survey, we asked subscribers to Test & Measurement World magazine to tell us about their compensation, experience, education, job satisfaction, and workload. We compiled the results into the charts that appear in this section.

We conducted the survey by sending an e-mail to our subscribers during June 2008. The results, which were tabulated by Research Results, an independent research firm, have a 95% confidence level with a projectable margin of error of ±3%.
