The new 2019 Printing Industry Wage & Benefits Study was previously scheduled for release on Jan. 2, 2019 but, “We were able to put in some overtime on this project and release it early,” according to John Stewart, Executive Director of the National Printing Research Council.
Priced at only $179, the new 118-page wage study reveals average and median wages and benefits for 24 key positions in the printing industry. The soon-to-be-released study also includes detailed sales and compensation practices for outside sales representatives. To order your copy, visit the NPRC Bookstore.
This information-packed study reports wages for popular positions such as general managers, CSRs, and graphic designers. Other positions surveyed include digital operators as well as mailing and large format specialists.
“This study is invaluable. It can easily prevent you from losing a valuable employee who offer his or her two-week notice because of a better offer from one of your competitors,” notes Stewart. “It’s not as if we intentionally underpay employees, it’s just that we sometimes take them for granted and fail to periodically review their salaries as we should,” Stewart adds.
More than 200 firms participated in this most recent survey. Participants reported average 2018 (projected) sales of $1.7 Million and median sales of $1 million, according to NPRC. Average SPE for participants in this year’s survey was $139,000 while median SPE was slightly lower at $134,000 – both remarkably similar to what was reported in 2016.
The new study provides wage and salary data based upon population density, geographic locations, sales and SPE levels.
