ECA International Releases its 2004/2005 Salary Trends Report

With so many companies, both large and small, having offices around the globe and salary budgets still tight, understanding salary increase trends is important.
ECA International recently published its salary trends analysis for 2004/2005.  ECA establishes current local national market pay and benefit levels applicable to a wide range of general functional and operational positions from junior office staff to senior management. ECA’s survey covers a panel of 40 countries.

According to ECA, the anticipated average salary increase within this panel is 4.91% but after inflation, the merit increase will average 2.04%

Egyptian locals will enjoy the highest increase after consideration of inflation, 5.7%.  On the other hand, New Zealand, Poland and South African workers will have the smallest anticipated increases after consideration of inflation within these countries.  The United States increases will average 4% which will be only a point above inflation.  The largest salary increase will go to Egyptian nationals (13%) and the smallest increases will be paid to Japanese locals (2%). A chart displaying this is available by contacting the company below.
