The NATA Salary Survey is normally conducted every two years with the goal of providing NATA members with the data they need in negotiating with current and prospective employers. The survey results provide a snapshot of the profession as a whole from an earnings standpoint but are also searchable and show how specific variables affect the average salary.  Additional factors like cost of living increases, etc. should be taken into consideration when accessing these results.
