Wanted: Security Clearance
Do you want a Secure, High Paying Job with the Nation’s Top Government agencies or defense contractors?
According to the 2010 Security Clearance Jobs Salary Survey, nearly 60% of security-cleared professionals received an increase in compensation in the past year with California topping the list as the highest-earning place for security-cleared jobs. We already know that professionals holding security clearances enjoy salaries that are $5,000 to $10,000 more than the average employee and this survey shows that the salary continues to rise—despite our tough economic times.
It’s no surprise to find that professionals holding higher security clearance receive higher compensation and often record the greatest frequency of receiving an increase, but what I did find interesting about this survey is that 62% of respondents are satisfied with their present careers--for cleared human resources professionals, IT program managers and telecommunications engineers that job satisfaction percentage tops 70%. These statistics—while a slight decline from last year’s survey—are much higher than what many studies are showing for overall job satisfaction for American workers. As the 2009 survey stated, “…satisfaction may simply be security-cleared professionals recognizing the coveted stability their status affords them, in conjunction with continued solid demand for their services.”
During a time when finding good news about the job market is hard to find, it’s refreshing to see at least one industry is not only continuing to see an increase in salary, but job satisfaction continues to be above the national average as well. So, are you in demand? If you haven’t thought about getting a security clearance for yourself and/or your business, you should—and start enjoying the benefits that only come with true job satisfaction!
