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 42 responses from Canada, representing five provinces. The overall average compensation is $65,504 CAD per year. That is equivalent to approximately $55,734 USD. Only one of the respondents spent at least 75% of their time on management tasks. Thirty-one of the respondents were women. The average number of hours worked per week was 40.3 compared to 43.5 in the U.S.

International

We received 59 responses from residents of countries other than the United States and Canada. The annual salaries ranged from $1,000-$120,000 USD. Ten percent of the salaries were less than $20,000 USD. There were almost equal numbers of male and female respondents.
