Survey Researchers
What They Do
"Survey researchers design surveys and analyze data. Surveys are used to collect factual data, such as employment and salary information, or to ask questions in order to understand people’s opinions, preferences, beliefs, or desires."
Job Outlook and Pay
Nationally
Median Pay 2021 - $59,740 per year; $28.72 per hour
"Employment of survey researchers is projected to grow 4 percent from 2020 to 2030, slower than the average for all occupations.
Despite limited employment growth, about 1,200 openings for survey researchers are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Most of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire."
