A sneak peek of the 2010 Salary Survey

MD+DI will soon publish its annual salary survey in December 2010, one of the most anticipated issues of the year. But we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the data we've collected on salaries in the industry.

Compared to 12 months ago, how do you feel about your job security?

Methods: The survey sample of 1,635 was selected in systematic, stratified from MD+DI's domestic circulation in the categories of finished medical device manufacturers and/or in vitro diagnostic manufacturers, representing 29,986 recipients at the time of sample selection.

Data was collected via mail survey from July 1 to August 13, 2010. The survey was closed for tabulation with 517 usable responses—a 32% response rate. The findings highlighted in this report are based on the 441 individuals who indicated they are involved in the industry and work full time in firms manufacturing finished medical devices and/or in vitro diagnostics, representing approximately 25,000 MD+DI recipients.
