In this day of high tech, internet, and hit or miss service organizations there exists a group of associations that has quietly been conducting and maintaining some of the most comprehensive wage, salary, and benefit surveys in the country. The Employer Association Group is an affiliation of 63 locally based, independently operated employer associations across the country whose function it is to assist their member companies with Management and Human Relations issues through an offering of services on both the local and national level. The EAG (Employer Association Group) was formed 95 years ago by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) as a partnership to help strengthen the free-enterprise system and expand support for the manufacturing initiative in a legislative process. These 63 EAG associations represent nearly 50,000 businesses (4 million workers) in their local communities across the nation. The primary reason cited for joining an EAG association is the access to valuable data and information. Each association conducts annual wage and salary surveys (at the local level) along with benefit surveys and special industry surveys. These reports are known for being extremely comprehensive with many containing data on hundreds of jobs from the local market with several data breakouts to make the information more useful for compensation planning. Job categories surveyed include production, service, trades, office clerical, technical, supervisory, management, and executive. Many of the Associations also work together to co-sponsor the following seven EAG National Surveys:
