The Scarce Skills Mining Remuneration Report

General industry salary survey reports whilst good sources of remuneration data, should not be used in isolation as they represent only a portion of the remuneration market. These reports only survey candidates that are currently employed, and there is often no information to detail whether the incumbents were employed during the ‘downturn’ or during the ‘construction boom’ which as you know, represents different levels of demand and pay rates.
