In a year marked by change—HTM program closures at DeVry and Brown Mackie College, executive moves at AAMI, and even editorial change-ups at 24×7—one thing remained largely the same: Your salaries. 24×7’s 2015 compensation and job satisfaction survey reported median national salaries of $45,000, $54,000, and $66,000 for BMET 1, BMET 2, and BMET 3 rankings, respectively. One year later, only BMET 2s saw any change in wages.

For the first time, 24×7’s annual survey of job satisfaction and compensation queried respondents about their timeline for retirement in an effort to gauge the impending impact of the Boomer exodus from the workforce. The data confirmed what many in HTM already know intuitively to be true: Starting in about 5 years, the field will see a major wave of retirement lasting about a decade, although we’re already on the edge of the upswing.

Invitations for 24×7’s annual salary survey have been sent to the magazine’s readers. Results of the questionnaire, addressing compensation and job satisfaction for HTM professionals employed full-time in the United States, will be published in the December issue. For the first time, this year’s survey also inquires about the number of years respondents expect to continue working in the field before they retire.

For those who want to dig deeper into the data from the latest HTM salary survey, 24×7 now offers a detailed report that records the answers to every quantitative question asked in the survey.
