Abbott, Langer Association Surveys FAQ#4

QUESTION:  How are these surveys different than ERI's Assessor Series?

Abbott, Langer Association Surveys reports are not “analyses” like those provided to ERI Economic Research Institute Assessor Series subscribers; rather, they are reports of actual data points collected and calculations of simple averages, percentiles, counts, and rates of error.  Results will differ from month to month as the composition of survey participants will vary, and ERI adds hundreds of thousands of data points each month to its survey databases.  No attempt is made to alter the data as collected, reported, and/or graphically displayed other than to normalize collected compensation amounts to a common date using ERI's Salary Increase Report salary structure increase rates that vary by industry and job function.  This is a compensation survey.
