The 2010 WorldatWork(formerly American Compensation Association) Salary and Compensation Survey Handbook and Directory contains a comprehensive listing of all CompGeo Online Associate and Professional Salary and Compensation Survey Research Options in the Survey Providers and Surveys Section.

The CompGeo Salary and Compensation Forecast Library stands out in this publication as the Salary and Compensation Source with the most Comprehensive Salary and Compensation Survey Coverage options and Forecasts for Domestic U.S. Occupations.

Comparison Charts have been updated for CompGeo Online Salary and Compensation Survey Research Products and Services including CompGeo Online Associate, CompGeo Online Professional and the CompGeo Online Professional Forecast Library.

The updated comparison chart for CompGeo Online Salary and Compensation Survey Research Products and Services shows dramatic differences between CompGeo Online and other sources with regards to Reliability, Quality, Flexibility and Comprehensiveness. Salary Survey sites that provide multiple coded salary survey sources are often using private copyrighted information without permission. Many other online salary survey sites don't even use salary survey data - they use geographic salary differentials or scan classified ads - like geographic salary 'calculators' these are woefully inaccurate. Salary Source sites that present Cost of Living data often use such data to 'estimate' (guess) at competitive market rates - this is often a major problem with the 'free' salary information sites. Most other online survey sites have large sampling error rates due to limited participation. Almost all other Online Salary Survey Sites use data supplied directly by users/employees. Such unprofessional salary survey practices normally yield very large errors and generally invalidates all survey offerings from that site. CompGeo Online strictly prohibits any use of user/employee direct supplied data in order to protect the integrity and reliability of the CompGeo Salary and Compensation Database.
