The Winter 2019 Salary Survey contains annual salary projections for Class of 2019 college graduates. The figures reported are for base salaries only and do not include bonuses, commissions, fringe benefits, or overtime rates. The report provides the detailed salary projections by academic major and degree level, along with breakouts by both industry and geographic region.

Data contained in the report were obtained by surveying NACE employer members from August 1, 2018, through December 3, 2018. A total of 186 surveys were returned for a 20 percent response rate. Of those responding, 8.1 percent of respondents were from New England, 8.1 percent were from the Plains, 11.9 percent were from the Mideast, 12.4 percent of respondents were from the Rocky Mountain/Far West, 15.7 percent were from the Southeast, 17.3 percent were from the Southwest, and 26.5 percent were from the Great Lakes. A list of respondents by industry and a partial list of organizations that supplied data for this report, can be found in the Appendix.
