QUESTION:  Can I alter the graphs?

 

The Salary Assessor allows for the varying of the X- and Y-axis.  For example:

 

Graph Data

The graph presentation of data for an individual job will display mean or median (depending upon your selection) Salary Range data for the job and organization data specified.  In many cases, you may note that the graph displayed is a series of three curved lines, reflecting data stored as an "nth degree" polynomial equation.

 

•X-Axis: The x-axis shows years experience, or tenure, for most jobs.  For some executive titles and industries, the organization size will define the x-axis.  Size will be either revenue (most industries), assets, fiscal year budget (FYB), or # of employees, depending upon the industry and job specified.

 

•Y-Axis: The y-axis shows the dollar salary range from entry level to maturity experience (for that job).  All US area comparisons default to display US dollars.  All Canadian area comparisons default to display Canadian dollars.
