Your Purchasing Salary: Is It Fair?<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>PurchTips edition #125<\/p>\n<\/div>
What Is A Good Salary For A Purchasing Agent?<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>To verify that a number is reasonable, you need a benchmark for comparison. Determining a benchmark salary is tricky because purchasing salaries vary due to the position level, the industry, the location of your employment, and your credentials.<\/p>\n
To provide a good purchasing salary benchmark while addressing each of these variables, I’ll first separate salary statistics into two groups: Purchasing Managers and Purchasing Agents. Within each group, I’ll list average salaries across all industries, in different industries, and in different cities. Finally, I’ll share the premium earned by purchasing professionals with credentials.
