QUESTION:  Can I alter the graphs?

 

The Salary Graph is a graphic representation of the salary table displayed and is only valid for individual jobs.  When the table in use is the Benchmark List or Geographic List, the graph will reflect data for the job/area on the salary table that is highlighted or most recently selected.

 

The Salary Graph profiles a job so the user can, at a glance, understand how a salary continuously changes as the organization size or years of experience changes.

 

The Salary Assessor defines the X- and Y-axis as follows.

 

•X-Axis: The X-axis shows years of experience, or tenure, for non-executive jobs.  For executive titles, organization size defines the x-axis.  Organization size is measured by revenue (most industries), assets, fiscal year budget (FYB), or # of employees, depending upon the industry.

 

•Y-Axis: The Y-axis shows the salary as the organization size or years of experience changes.
