females working in the logistics profession still lag behind their male counterparts. The average salary for men who participated in our study was $102,980; the average salary for their female counterparts was a full 20 percent lower, at $82,184. And the disparity can’t be explained away by differences in job title. As Exhibit 6 shows, the salary gap persists regardless of position.

As for other factors that influence pay, our survey also
showed that company size and respondents’ tenure with
their current employer play a role. As you might expect, the
bigger the company you work for, the better the pay.
Logistics professionals at companies with more than 5,000
employees, for instance, earn $114,717 on average, while
their counterparts at companies with fewer than 100
employees bring home $91,677. (See Exhibit 7.)

WHAT LOGISTICS PROFESSIONALS WANT …

In previous years, the scope of our annual survey was limited to salaries and compensation. This year, we added several questions about the respondents’ overall job satisfaction—what they liked most, what they liked least, and what their employers could do to make them happier.
