2014 Salary Survey
C o v e r s t o r y
fter several years of
encouraging numbers
and growth, the results
of Machinery Lubrication's 2014
salary survey reveal a slight down-
turn in income levels for lubrication
professionals in the United States.
This year the average salary
dropped to $79,000, which was a
4-percent decline from a year ago
and the lowest recorded figure
since 2011. Fewer workers also
reported receiving bonuses and
other benefits such as health insur-
ance, 401(k) and profit sharing.
Although more than three-fourths
of respondents received raises in
2014, the vast majority only saw
an increase of 1 to 5 percent.
