Historical Information:

The HR Alliance DC Compensation Survey, entering 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 our 2024 report, we have compiled data on over 430 positions across over 75 job families covering over 72,000 incumbents in the Greater Washington, DC metro area.  

Here is a sample of the findings:

• DC area turnover was lower than the average for the entire US.
• The survey saw that 54% of organizations are investing in workforce “upskilling” or “reskilling.”
• This year companies have reported that 52% of their employees are able to work remotely.
