It Pays to be the Boss–Supervisory Wages in the National Compensation Survey, 2009 – by James E. Smith, Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 21, 2011 [This article uses National Compensation Survey data to illustrate differences in annual wages for team leaders and first-line, second-line, and third-line supervisors in the United States and in the Census Divisions.]
“Data from the National Compensation Survey (NCS) show that the pay of team leaders and supervisors increases as their position in the corporate hierarchy rises. For example, team leaders of engineers in the United States averaged $106,833 per year in 2009, while first-line supervisors averaged $117,756, second-line supervisors averaged $131,074, and third-line supervisors averaged $160,554. Similar patterns can be seen for a number of other management jobs that include varying levels of supervisory responsibility. These jobs share another characteristic–their pay is typically higher than that of all but the most highly paid nonsupervisory workers in the same occupation. Team leaders of engineers averaged 23 percent higher than nonsupervisory engineers, who averaged $87,162 per year.”
