2020 Industrial Automation Salary Survey

By Melissa Landon, Content Editor at Automation.com
This 28-page salary survey report, which covers data gathered in mid and late 2020, reflects the early effects of pandemic-related economic upheavals for engineering, business and technical professionals in manufacturing and industry. It breaks out salary data for U.S. respondents and for respondents globally, and reports on factors that influence salary such as job function or years of experience.

Overall, the survey indicates a slight increase in global salaries over 2019 levels. A survey emailed to our global audience in November resulted in almost 2,000 responses; 60% of respondents were from the U.S. Nearly 64% of respondents indicated they received or expected to receive an increase in total compensation in 2020 over 2019. However, nearly half (47%) of those expecting an increase anticipated it to be less than 4%. How does your salary measure up? Download the report to find out.
