Kansas City, Mo. – Print Industries Affiliates have announced the industry's most comprehensive annual survey on labor costs and human resource policies of print-related companies is now open for submissions, available through August 13, 2021. From top management to the shipping department, the Print Affiliate’s Wage + Benefits Survey annually captures labor costs and human resource practices from approximately 500 firms and 15,000 employees across North America.

“Each year, North American Print Industries Affiliates conduct one of the most powerful surveys in the industry,” commented Teresa Campbell, Print Affiliate operating committee chair and president of PIA MidAmerica. “The annual Wage + Benefits Report is used to recruit, train, and manage an essential workforce, crucial factors in a print service provider’s ability to remain competitive.”

The Wage + Benefit 2021 Survey captures wages for most industry positions in sixteen categories, segmented by region and company size. The report captures policies for overtime, vacation, PTO, sick time, health insurance, and includes job descriptions for more than 200 industry positions. New in 2021, the online portal supports participants with multiple locations and also offers updated COVID-related questions. The Wage + Benefits Survey makes the previous year’s employment data submissions available automatically upon login to the online portal, making the survey process quick and easy.
