Salary Structure Variances

The Geographic Assessor analyses illustrate that salary differentials are not constant for an area.  That is, a single number is not sufficient to describe the relationship between geography and pay across all salary levels.  To account for this variation, the Geographic Assessor uses regression analyses to report the most accurate differential as salary level changes.  ERI’s research has found that different salary ranges can themselves be represented best by different regression lines.  Our findings demonstrate that, to accurately plot salary differentials across geographic regions, a series of different regression lines must be utilized.
