As recruiters with a focus in the Seattle Metro Construction Industry, we have been busy!
We at NW Recruiting Partners recently put together some simple salary data for one of our clients. Many people in the industry took new roles in 2017-2018. If you were one of them, perhaps this information will help you understand if your current salary is keeping up with the market.
Our data shows that salaries rose 10% or more in 2016-17, depending on the role, but the numbers are flattening. Salaries are now starting to level off in the Puget Sound, compared to 2016 and 2017.
