Hot Travel Jobs conducts a yearly survey for Job-Seekers/Employees to get a perspective on their experiences in compensation as well as job experiences. This is the first year that compensation was measured.
We took salary information from currently employed and unemployed Leisure Travel Agents and Corporate Travel Managers to provide a breakdown of salary changes in the industry.
Our goal here was to show if there was a disparity, if any, between currently employed and unemployed salaries, as a way to gauge compensation rise and fall. As we can see from the data, there’s a marked difference between the two groups.
