A survey questionnaire was sent to each participating organization. Data Collected was;

• Position match job title,

• What position, match reports to,

• the minimum and maximum salaries,

Data was collected for 68 positions. 65 positions had sufficient data (4 or more data points) to be included in the survey in 2017 and 64 positions had sufficient data to be included in the survey in 2018. The position Landscape Architect only had 4 data points in 2017 and one organization did not report data in 2018 for this position but did for 2017.
