New survey examines emerging HR trends in educational publishing

AEP releases the results of its 2006 Salary & Benefits Survey

LOGAN TWP., NJ—AUG. 15, 2006—Over 40% of educational publishers offer their employees release time during work hours for approved volunteer work—this according to a new study published by the Association of Educational Publishers (AEP). The 2006 Salary and Benefits Study, produced in cooperation with Lois Eskin Associates and Hagen Marketing Research, Inc., examines emerging job functions, current salary ranges, and new "perks" and benefits, painting a picture of an industry in tune with the needs of the modern employee.

"Educational publishing as an industry is still fairly young, and the results of this survey confirm the progressive nature of the companies within this field," said AEP's CEO, Charlene Gaynor. "People involved at all levels of the industry will find this research both useful and informative."

Featured data in the survey report includes:

• the most prevalent job titles in the industry
• annual salary figures, raises, and bonuses for 13 job titles
• medical insurance packages
• retirement plans

In addition to this compensation data, the report also contains in-depth demographic information on the location of educational publishing companies and organizations, their primary publishing activities, and their size in terms of number of employees.

The 2006 Salary & Benefits Survey is the first of study of its kind published since 1999, providing current and needed data for this growing industry.
