How Much Are Jewelry Industry Employees Getting Paid?
Jewelers of America wants to know for its new study, which will be used to update its “Guide to Careers in the Jewelry Industry.”
Jewelers of America just launched the Jewelry Industry Salary Study, which it created to gain a better understanding of the industry’s current salary structure. Individuals have from now through May 2 to complete the survey online.
New York—Jewelers of America announced this week it has launched a comprehensive, anonymous study of how much people in the jewelry industry make.
It said it will use the data gathered to update its “Guide to Careers in the Jewelry Industry” to better attract a younger, more diverse pool of employees to the fine jewelry industry.
JA is asking company owners, managers, and HR professionals to securely share input on the Jewelry Industry Salary Study Platform.
Study participants will be asked to provide metrics pertaining to salary basics, commission structures and benefits, work environment information, and education and experience level requirements.
All data will be collected securely and will be aggregated to ensure participants’ privacy.
The deadline to complete the survey is May 2. Individuals can take it online.
“The launch of the Jewelry Industry Salary Study comes at a pivotal time in the changing work landscape when businesses are looking to gain and retain great employees,” JA President and CEO David J. Bonaparte said.
“We are looking forward to gathering this comprehensive data to benefit the entire jewelry industry and attract a new, younger audience of future talent.”
By sharing information on various job roles, jewelers will be able to use the study as a benchmarking tool to compare their organization’s compensation structure with others in the industry.
The data also can help businesses identify new opportunities for growth and gain a competitive edge in recruiting.
All participants who complete the survey can opt-in to a drawing for a $500 American Express gift card.
