Historical Information:

The HR Alliance DC Compensation Survey, now in its 37th year, can help you attract and retain the DC-metro area’s top talent, while helping your organization continuously improve its compensation practices and talent management strategies. 

In 2025, we compiled data on over 400 positions across over 76 job families covering over 56,000 incumbents in the Greater Washington, DC metro area.  

Here is a sample of the findings:

• DC area turnover remained significantly lower than the average for the entire US.
• The survey saw an increase in investment in Talent Acquisition, with over 56% of organizations reporting it as their top area of investment for their Human Resources Departments.
• This year companies have reported that 42% of their employees are able to work remotely.
• The survey reported that 45% of participating organizations apply a geographic differential to the national average market data used for positions in the Washington, DC Metro area.
