2017 Salary & Demographic Survey
SURVEY DETAILS
The findings cited in this report are based on a survey sponsored by the International Economic Development Council
(IEDC). The purpose of this research project was to create a work-related profile of economic development
professionals, including their compensation, benefits and demographic information.
In total, 40,701 individuals were invited to participate in the survey. As listed in the following table, the sample
consisted of the email lists of economic development professionals from IEDC, 4 regional associations, 35 state
associations, 3 Canadian provincial associations, and Canada’s national organization, the Economic Development
Association of Canada (EDAC).

The survey instrument was designed collaboratively by IEDC and Readex Research, building on similar surveys
conducted bi-annually since 2006. Development of the survey web site and broadcast email contacts of sample
members were handled by Readex Research (with the exception of EDAC handling the emailing to their list of 786
members).
On November 10, 2016, Readex broadcast initial email requests to all sample members (with the exception of the
EDAC list of 786 records) in the name of IEDC’s chair. The email invited them to participate in the survey by
visiting the access-controlled web site hosted by Readex Research. As an incentive to participate, respondents were
able to enter a drawing for an iPad Mini or one of three $100 Visa gift cards. Additionally, participants were eligible
to purchase the report at a discounted rate of $100 (a discount of up to 60% off depending on their IEDC membership
status). Readex sent reminder emails on November 14, 18, and 22 to those with deliverable email addresses who had
not yet responded.
On November 17, EDAC broadcast email requests to their list of 786 members in the name of EDAC’s chief
executive officer and IEDC’s chair. The invitations provided the same information as those sent by Readex. EDAC
sent reminder emails on November 22 to their entire list.
The survey was closed for tabulation on November 28, 2016, with 4,103 total responses—a 10% response rate. As
with any research, the results should be interpreted with the potential of non-response bias in mind. It is unknown
how those who responded to the survey may be different from those who did not respond. In general, the higher the
response rate, the lower the probability of estimation errors due to non-response and thus, the more stable the results.
To ensure representation of the audience of interest, results have been filtered to include only the 3,678 respondents
who indicated they are employed or self-employed in an economic development-related position. Percentages based
on all 3,678 usable responses are subject to a margin of error of ±1.5 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
Percentages calculated on smaller tabulation bases are subject to more statistical variability.

mean: 49.0median: 50
1 A median is considered the “typical” response. It is the value that lies at the middle of a distribution: that is, 50% of the values are above it and 50% are
below. Unlike the mean, it is not influenced by extreme values. A mean is the arithmetic average of a distribution (i.e., a set of values). Means are very much influenced by extremely large or extremely small values in the distribution (e.g., one millionaire can substantially raise an estimate of average income).
2 “Economic development professional” refers to the 3,678 respondents who indicated they are employed or self-employed in an economic development-related
position.

IEDC
2017 Salary & Demographic Survey
FINDINGS: About Their Organizations
The typical economic development professional reported their economic development-related department or
operation’s annual operating budget excluding capital funds, revolving loan funds, CDBG, and pass-through funds is
$525,000 (in US dollars), similar to $521,000 reported in the 2014 study. Respondents at a few larger organizations
sway the average (mean) operating budget up to nearly $2 million.
Some fluctuation in size of population served has been observed over recent studies. The typical economic
development professional reported working for an organization that serves a population of 144,000—down from the
2014 study, but up from the 2012 and 2010 studies.
This variation in the size of the population served is attributable, at least in part, to the changing base. Prior to 2014,
those who did not work for a public agency were not asked to respond to this question.

FINDINGS: About Their Work
Economic development professionals manage or perform a variety of activities related to the profession. Over half
indicated they are involved in business retention and expansion (72%), marketing/business recruitment (66%),
research/analysis (53%), and/or small business start-ups and support/entrepreneurial activities (51%).
Involvement in the various activities differs by position. For example, top level executives and VP/division managers
are more likely than others to manage or perform business retention/expansion, small business start-ups and
support/entrepreneurial activities, neighborhood/community development, and property development/redevelopment.
Entry level staff are more likely than others to manage or perform research/analysis.

2017 Salary & Demographic Survey
FINDINGS: Compensation
The reported median of $80,000 has remain unchanged since the 2014 study, when it had last seen an increase
compared with previous years.
There is significant variation in salary level by position, with top level executives earning over $15,600 above the
median for all economic development professionals, and entry level staff earning $32,200 below the median.
Refer to the Salary Tables section of this report for more detailed annual salary data based on a variety of variables,
including a multivariate analysis within each studied position (e.g., top level executive compensation by size of
operating budget for those in the Midwest).

2017 Salary & Demographic Survey
FINDINGS: Compensation
A variety of considerations influence economic development professionals’ salary adjustments. Cost of living (39%),
organization performance (38%), and personal performance (38%) top the list, with about two-fifths of those in full-
time, year-round positions indicating each is considered in their salary adjustments.
Considerations for salary adjustments vary somewhat by job position. For example, top level executives are much
more likely than others to have cited organization performance as a consideration, but less likely than others to cite
certain other considerations, such as cost of living.

2017 Salary & Demographic Survey
FINDINGS: Compensation
A minority of full-time, year round economic development professionals (36%) indicated they were eligible to receive
other cash compensation beyond their salaries in the 12 months prior to July 1, 2016, including bonuses, commission,
incentive pay, overtime, profit sharing, deferred compensation, and/or cash retirement benefits received. Top level
executives are the most likely of the positions to be eligible; entry level staff the least likely.
Similar to salary adjustments, considerations for determining the amount of other cash compensation vary somewhat
by job position (among those eligible). Also similar to salary adjustments, top level executives are more likely than
the others to have cited organization performance as a consideration in the determination of their cash compensation.
Others were more likely than top level executives to cite department performance.

IEDC
2017 Salary & Demographic Survey
FINDINGS: Compensation
Because most full-time, year-round economic development professionals are not eligible to receive cash
compensation other than salary, the median reported value for this type of pay received in the 12 months prior to
July 1, 2016, was $0.
However, some do receive substantial cash compensation beyond their salary. In fact, 12% received other cash
compensation of $10,000 or more. Among those that were eligible to receive additional cash, the median value
received was $5,000.

FINDINGS: Compensation
Because so many are not eligible to receive it, the median cash compensation among those in each position is also $0.
However, among those eligible, the typical top level professional received almost twice as much, or more, as the
typical professional in each of the other analyzed positions.

FINDINGS: Employment Contracts
The incidence of full-time, year round economic development professionals working on a contract basis is rare, at
17%. However, this nearly doubles among those in top level positions to 31%. It also tends to be slightly more
common among those at organizations who serve smaller populations than larger populations.
The typical employment contract duration for full-time, year round economic development professionals working on
a contract basis is 3 years. About a third (35%) are contracted for 1 year or less.

IEDC
2017 Salary & Demographic Survey
FINDINGS: Benefits
Whether they make use of it or not, the vast majority of full-time, year-round economic development professionals
indicated their employers offer medical coverage, with only 9% indicating they do not. However, the percentage who
indicated their employers do not offer medical coverage is slightly higher in 2016 than in previous study years.
By far, the most common type of medical coverage offered is a PPO (61%)—up from the 2010 and 2012 studies, but
consistent with 2014 findings.
Retirement plans are equally as common as medical coverage, with only 10% of full-time, year-round economic
development professionals not offered one. A third (34%) have access to a state/provincial/government retirement
system, and another quarter (27%) are offered a defined contribution plan.

FINDINGS: Benefits
Full-time, year-round economic development professionals are offered a variety of other benefits, as well, whether
they make use of them or not. In addition to paid time off (typically 4 weeks), the most common benefits include cell
phones (72%), mileage reimbursement (71%), professional association dues (62%), laptops/tablets (61%), and/or
funding/time off for professional development (59%).
For the most part, the types of benefits offered has remained unchanged over the past six years, and especially since
the 2014 study when some more significant changes were observed when compared with previous studies—such as
an increase in the incidence of employers offering cell phones, flex-time, and employee assistance programs.

In addition to percentages, three summary statistics may be presented in this report for numeric variables.
A mean is the arithmetic average of a distribution (i.e., a set of values). Because it is arithmetically calculated, it can be multiplied
by the population represented to present a total volume estimate. For example, if 100 survey respondents (representing 10,000
people in the population) reported mean expenditures of $100 each, total expenditures for that population are estimated as 10,000 x
$100 = $1,000,000. Means are very much influenced by extremely large or extremely small values in the distribution (e.g., one
millionaire can substantially raise an estimate of average income).
Means for grouped data are calculated using the midpoint of each range. The lowest-valued group is represented by its largest
value; the highest-valued group by its lowest.
The standard error measures the variability associated with the survey’s estimate of a population mean. The standard error is
analogous to the margin of error associated with percentages: that is, 95% of the time we expect the true (unknown) population
mean to be within plus-or-minus two standard errors of the mean calculated from the sample. A standard error that is large in
proportion to the mean indicates a high level of statistical instability; trending and projections against such estimates should be
undertaken cautiously.
A median is the value that lies at the middle of a distribution: that is, 50% of the values are above it and 50% are below. It
represents the “typical” response, and is not influenced by extreme values. For most distributions, the median will be either roughly
equal to, or significantly smaller than the mean.
Medians for grouped data are calculated by locating the group which contains the 50th percentile, then interpolating between the
lower and upper bounds to estimate the precise value. Only the values listed above the statistics on a data table are used in the
calculations.
Tables may have statistical significance testing enabled, comparing means and proportions between selected columns. Z-scores
for differences are calculated where both tabulation bases are ≥ 30, assuming the statistics are derived from sufficiently large
unweighted probability samples drawn from much larger independent populations. Differences found significant at the 95%
confidence level are reported by appearance of one or more letters under the result, indicating from which tested column(s) to the
left that statistic differs (if any).
When assumptions are met, significance testing accounts for the effect of sampling error on comparisons; if all assumptions are not
met, the reader is advised to use test results cautiously. If results have been unit weighted, the statistical testing should be viewed
only as a general guideline to highlighting potential differences. Effects of other potential sources of imprecision (nonresponse bias,
item reliability, respondent error, etc.) are not similarly quantifiable, and may be of greater magnitude than sampling error.

In addition to percentages, three summary statistics may be presented in this report for numeric variables.
A mean is the arithmetic average of a distribution (i.e., a set of values). Because it is arithmetically calculated, it can be multiplied
by the population represented to present a total volume estimate. For example, if 100 survey respondents (representing 10,000
people in the population) reported mean expenditures of $100 each, total expenditures for that population are estimated as 10,000 x
$100 = $1,000,000. Means are very much influenced by extremely large or extremely small values in the distribution (e.g., one
millionaire can substantially raise an estimate of average income).
Means for grouped data are calculated using the midpoint of each range. The lowest-valued group is represented by its largest
value; the highest-valued group by its lowest.
The standard error measures the variability associated with the survey’s estimate of a population mean. The standard error is
analogous to the margin of error associated with percentages: that is, 95% of the time we expect the true (unknown) population
mean to be within plus-or-minus two standard errors of the mean calculated from the sample. A standard error that is large in
proportion to the mean indicates a high level of statistical instability; trending and projections against such estimates should be
undertaken cautiously.
A median is the value that lies at the middle of a distribution: that is, 50% of the values are above it and 50% are below. It
represents the “typical” response, and is not influenced by extreme values. For most distributions, the median will be either roughly
equal to, or significantly smaller than the mean.
Medians for grouped data are calculated by locating the group which contains the 50th percentile, then interpolating between the
lower and upper bounds to estimate the precise value. Only the values listed above the statistics on a data table are used in the
calculations.
Tables may have statistical significance testing enabled, comparing means and proportions between selected columns. Z-scores
for differences are calculated where both tabulation bases are ≥ 30, assuming the statistics are derived from sufficiently large
unweighted probability samples drawn from much larger independent populations. Differences found significant at the 95%
confidence level are reported by appearance of one or more letters under the result, indicating from which tested column(s) to the
left that statistic differs (if any).
When assumptions are met, significance testing accounts for the effect of sampling error on comparisons; if all assumptions are not
met, the reader is advised to use test results cautiously. If results have been unit weighted, the statistical testing should be viewed
only as a general guideline to highlighting potential differences. Effects of other potential sources of imprecision (nonresponse bias,
item reliability, respondent error, etc.) are not similarly quantifiable, and may be of greater magnitude than sampling error.

In addition to percentages, three summary statistics may be presented in this report for numeric variables.
A mean is the arithmetic average of a distribution (i.e., a set of values). Because it is arithmetically calculated, it can be multiplied
by the population represented to present a total volume estimate. For example, if 100 survey respondents (representing 10,000
people in the population) reported mean expenditures of $100 each, total expenditures for that population are estimated as 10,000 x
$100 = $1,000,000. Means are very much influenced by extremely large or extremely small values in the distribution (e.g., one
millionaire can substantially raise an estimate of average income).
Means for grouped data are calculated using the midpoint of each range. The lowest-valued group is represented by its largest
value; the highest-valued group by its lowest.
The standard error measures the variability associated with the survey’s estimate of a population mean. The standard error is
analogous to the margin of error associated with percentages: that is, 95% of the time we expect the true (unknown) population
mean to be within plus-or-minus two standard errors of the mean calculated from the sample. A standard error that is large in
proportion to the mean indicates a high level of statistical instability; trending and projections against such estimates should be
undertaken cautiously.
A median is the value that lies at the middle of a distribution: that is, 50% of the values are above it and 50% are below. It
represents the “typical” response, and is not influenced by extreme values. For most distributions, the median will be either roughly
equal to, or significantly smaller than the mean.
Medians for grouped data are calculated by locating the group which contains the 50th percentile, then interpolating between the
lower and upper bounds to estimate the precise value. Only the values listed above the statistics on a data table are used in the
calculations.
Tables may have statistical significance testing enabled, comparing means and proportions between selected columns. Z-scores
for differences are calculated where both tabulation bases are ≥ 30, assuming the statistics are derived from sufficiently large
unweighted probability samples drawn from much larger independent populations. Differences found significant at the 95%
confidence level are reported by appearance of one or more letters under the result, indicating from which tested column(s) to the
left that statistic differs (if any).
When assumptions are met, significance testing accounts for the effect of sampling error on comparisons; if all assumptions are not
met, the reader is advised to use test results cautiously. If results have been unit weighted, the statistical testing should be viewed
only as a general guideline to highlighting potential differences. Effects of other potential sources of imprecision (nonresponse bias,
item reliability, respondent error, etc.) are not similarly quantifiable, and may be of greater magnitude than sampling error.
