title: 1997 JEMS salary survey. Long hours, modest pay.
abstract: As in years past, the 1997 Jems salary survey tracks trends in compensation and career development in both the public and private sectors. This year, we've included some information about volunteer agencies as well. While the survey serves as a barometer for EMS wages and benefits, relying solely on the absolute numbers may create an incomplete picture because of changes in the number of respondents, organizational characteristics and other variables. However, combined with other industry data, the annual salary survey is a useful tool for comparing your pay with that of your peers. The survey should also prove useful to organizations and labor groups planning and preparing competitive compensation packages.
