2017 SAL ARY SURVE Y 2017 SAL ARY SURVE Y
The results from Machinery Lubrication's annual survey of lubrication professionals in the United States have been tabulated, and they reveal
that salaries held steady from 2016 to 2017, with less than a 1 percent change in earnings. Other interesting findings from the survey include
the number of raises received over the past year reaching its highest level since 2014, and men earning almost $10,000 more per year on average
than women. More younger workers also seem to be entering the industry, as not only did the average age drop two years from 2016, but the
number of respondents who have been with their current employer for less than five years increased by 10 percent. Certification continues
to rise in popularity, with the number of survey participants who have earned at least one certification increasing by nearly 15 percent from
a year ago and by almost 25 percent since 2015. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to complete the online survey.
