Wage & Business Survey
The formation of the Federation brings to the industry the opportunity
to participate in one, comprehensive, annual survey of the wages and
salaries paid by this industry nationally, plus a review of the business
conditions in the industry for that particular year.
The survey is issued annually for input in
the fall with results available before
the end of that year.
The Wage & Business Survey is acknowledged as a valuable instrument
within our industry. In 2004 there were 128 participants,
making this a survey that is truly representative of the industry.
Participation in the survey is only available to
those who are members of the Federation’s constituent organizations,
i.e., CAMM, CTMA, CPMA and CPIA’s Mould Makers Council. The
survey is provided to members as a service of their associations and
there is no cost to participate or receive the results.
Results of the survey are available ONLY to those
who participate. This survey is never sold or published for general
consumption.
This survey is now in a more efficient electronic reporting
format with built in password protected confidentiality features. The
results are issued by mid-December of each year. Those not wanting
to use this new format can still submit their data via a paper copy,
however, the final report, using this method, will only be available
in mid-January. The survey will be sent to Federation members
by e-mail unless a paper copy is requested.
Le sondage de 2005 sera disponible en français. Les
deux versions en anglais et français seront envoyées
aux entreprises au Québec.
The 2005 survey will be available in a French version. Both
English and French forms will be sent to Quebec companies.
