Survey lists better-paying industries for executives
Do you have the better salary? Will you apply for a job that does not offer a better salary? According to a recent study conducted for JobStreet.com, 67 percent of the survey respondents across the country say that “a good/high paying salary makes them want to apply for a job.”
JobStreet.com has introduced a new feature called “Salary Matching,” where prospective workers can now see which jobs, companies and industries give better pay. All companies posting through JobStreet.com are encouraged to include the salary offer on their job ads, making the salary information visible to those applying.
In a bid to further help candidates and employees gauge if they are getting the better salary, JobStreet.com has published a list of the top 10 industries that pay a better salary.
