tions for employees: Are you getting paid what you're worth? And, How do you know?

Based on data and analysis from the current IEEE-USA Salary Survey, the Workbook provides a personal salary estimate that allows engineers to
factor in their individual circumstances for their current or prospective future job, including 75 variables such as location, experience, industry, education and other economic and demographic characteristics.

Last year, a study of 50 engineer volunteers found that the Workbook estimated their current salaries within an average of $800 of their actual salaries. According to one study participant: "There is sound basis for the numbers which would be hard to dispute by an employer. If an employee wanted a better feeling for his or her pay, then this is a good avenue to find out."

SALARY BENCHMARKS: A PERSONAL WORKBOOK is available for $14.95 to IEEE
