Salary Surveys

As part of its ongoing efforts to gain recognition and advancement for system administrators, SAGE annually conducts a System Administrator Salary Survey. The results are tabulated, analyzed, and presented in PDF format. For a year, the PDF is available only to SAGE members and those nonmembers who participated in the survey; after a year, the PDFs become free to all.

• For Members: The 2005–2006 SAGE Salary Survey results
• The 2004–2005 SAGE Salary Survey results
• The 2003 SAGE Salary Survey results
• The 2002 SAGE Salary Survey results
  We also have a compendium of the comments about various topics submitted by the respondents. It makes fascinating reading, especially on topics such as outsourcing, and overtime with no compensation.
• The 2001 Salary Survey results
• The 2000 Salary Survey results
• The 1999 Salary Survey results

N.B. Surveys before 1999 were unscientific polls, not statistically valid surveys.
