The 2020 Western & Central Wisconsin Wage Survey is now available for purchase by contacting Danielle at the Eau Claire Chamber at [email protected].
Due to employers devoting most of their resources to COVID-19 pandemic response during our submission period, participation in the recently completed survey declined 25% this year. 119 submissions were received in contrast to last year’s 162 submissions. This was especially, and understandably, acute in the healthcare sector. We are optimistic that 2021 will see a return to our previous robust response rate.
As the survey results are effective April 1, 2020, it is difficult to say if this data will be reliable for compensation planning in late 2020 or into 2021. It appears that average pay increase percentages have remained consistent at around 3% in the area.
As with any emergency situation though, the impact across employers is uneven with some being very negatively impacted and others scrambling to hire more employees in high-demand jobs. It will be an interesting year for compensation. Now more than ever, employers will need to depend on applying good business judgment to determine their response to the pandemic’s impact on wages and salaries.
The survey results were compiled from submissions by 119 organizations in various industries, in an area encompassing the chambers of commerce in Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Marshfield, Menomonie, Portage County, Rice Lake, Wausau, and Wisconsin Rapids. Also involved were local chapters of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) in the Chippewa Valley, La Crosse, Wausau, and Winona, MN. The survey is administered by the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce.
