PMI® Project Management Salary Survey - Learn What You Can Earn

Knowing your earning potential is an invaluable asset when you want to leverage opportunities at your current job, invest in skills to raise your marketability and plan the next phase of your career. It’s also critical for organizations, which are competing for top talent as the demand for project managers grows.

PMI’s latest project management salary survey shows that despite the global recession, for 51 percent of respondents, salaries are increasing. The median salary across all countries, roles and experience levels was US$90,260. In six major countries, holders of the Project Management Professional (PMP)® credential earned US$10,000 more than their colleagues who did not have the credential.

Created and conducted by PMI’s market research team, the
PMI® Project Management Salary Survey—Sixth Edition measures salaries across eight major position description levels in 19 countries. The latest survey, conducted in 2009, reflects a greatly increased sample size for more accurate results, based on self-reported data from nearly 35,000 project management practitioners around the world.

Thank you Volunteers!

Last week the United States celebrated National Volunteer Week (18-24 April), PMI recognizes and thanks its thousands of volunteers for their hard work and service on behalf of the project management profession and PMI.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of PMI, moving the profession forward by:

• helping to create globally recognized standards and credentials;
• bringing meaningful and valuable governance and strategy;
• creating knowledge through research projects, market surveys and symposiums and disseminating knowledge through publications, research conferences and working sessions; and
• leading the development of communities and different focus areas within PMI through service on the membership advisory boards.

There are approximately 3,200 individuals who volunteer with PMI for at least a one-year timeframe. According to the 2009 Volunteer Satisfaction Survey, more than two-thirds (72 percent) of volunteers are extremely or very interested in volunteering with PMI again.
