As this survey continues to grow, we hope to provide useful information for regions outside the United States. That can only happen with active participation from user assistance professionals around the world.

Canada

We received 41 responses from Canada, representing seven provinces. The overall average compensation is $64,600 CAD per year. That is equivalent to approximately $51.680 USD. Only two of the respondents spent at least 75% of their time on management tasks. Twenty-five of the respondents were women. The average number of hours worked per week was 41.4.

International

We received 82 responses from residents of countries other than the United States and Canada. The annual salaries ranged from $2,500-$120,000 USD. Ten percent of the salaries were less than $20,000 USD. Half of the respondents were women.
