Salary Survey

July 2010
Notes
This survey is based on gross salary data
(excluding allowances) collated from
Zimbabwean job seekers over a period of
three months ending July 2010

The raw data has not been verified, and


variables such as gender, industry, age,
nationality and education have not been
factored in this analysis

Salary and Years of Experience data have


been presented as scatter diagrams with a
line of best fit and correlation coefficient,
the assumption being that salary and years
or experience are linearly related

Low correlation coefficients for many


positions suggest that salary scales in
Zimbabwe are still in the process of
formation in the prevailing economic
climate, or it may suggest that the assumed
linear correlation may be incorrect
