More Work, Less Pay

More Work, Less Pay SelectLeaders Job Network, the industry’s leading job site for professionals published its 2011 hiring & compensation forecast last week, and the results confirm what most of us believe–or at least hope for in the year ahead. SelectLeaders reported a 180-degree turnaround in the outlook with the majority forecasting a better year ahead. Expectations for compensation were also looking up with nearly 50% expecting an increase in compensation. But the rub is that 85% of the respondents are doing more work for less pay. Not surprising, but I expect that the trend to broader roles and fewer people for the foreseeable future will be the norm. But then again, we are lucky to have a job!
