To find out whether your salary and benefits are competitive with the rest of the test engineering industry, check out the results of our 2007 Salary Survey. 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 May 2007. The results, which were tabulated by Research Results, an independent research firm, have a 95% confidence level with a projectable margin of error of ±4.15%.
