AMM has released the 2009 Salary Survey Report. Nearly 140 cultural institutions participated in this year's survey, reporting on nearly than 3,000 jobs in the Midwest.  This is the third of five successive annual salary surveys that AMM will conduct in order to track trends in the job market.

In an increasingly competitive financial market, it is critical that museums have sound, current salary data for planning and administration. Cultural institutions regularly compete with other institutions as well as the for-profit sector to hire the most competent and talented staff. Museums and cultural institutions must provide competitive compensation to recruit and retain the best pool of candidates in the field. The 2009 AMM Salary Survey will help museums in the Midwest make informed decisions about their compensation structure and will help museum professionals negotiate for appropriate salary adjustments.

The survey report is available at a discounted rate to AMM members for $40 ($75 for non-members). All participating museums receive a complimentary salary survey report. If you would like to order a 2009 AMM Salary Survey Report, complete and return the order form.
