- Low: 3,000 NIS (there was also a 7,500 and a 9,000).

Question 6: What changes have occurred to your employment status since the last survey?
Question 7: What’s happened to your salary and social benefits since the last survey?
Is there any way you can publish an average wage to area statistic, for example, Tel Aviv: Hi= ???, Low= ???, Average= ???. I am sure this would be helpfull for those who are negotiating wage increases and are often told “oh thats the wage they pay in Tel Aviv, you won’t find anything close to that in our area.”
Hi Mike,
Yes, we can extract that information from the survey – connecting people who say they work in Tel Aviv with how much they say they earned. This does not tell us WHO the person is in Tel Aviv, so the survey remains anonymous. I am going to do my best to post the rest of the survey and these details next week. I’ve thankfully been overwhelmed with work and classes but have a break over Chanukah. I’ll do my best to get it up on the site soon, as well as previous surveys. I’m also planning to write an article for the MEGAComm conference magazine – analyzing over a year’s worth of results and post more info in it. And we will run another survey before the conference and make it a bit more detailed (not a lot), and present that at MEGAComm as well. I was talking to someone here about also providing a hand-out of the results at the conference – not sure yet, but interested in the idea. We’ll see. Obviously, after the conference, we’ll also make this info available on the site.

Thanks for this highly valuable info.
Keep up the good work.
