The results of the 2010 Chemical Processing Salary and Job Satisfaction Survey are out and thanks to our readers, we were just four respondents short of breaking the all-time total of 1,830 responses set in 2007. I suspect the most popular reason our readers remain interested in our survey is to see if their salary and job satisfaction is keeping pace with everyone else.

Have you ever wondered what your peers are thinking or doing? And I'm not just talking about your immediate peers (those you work with every day). I am talking about the big picture – peers from different companies and countries.

As the digital editor for Chemical Processing magazine, I get to dictate what poll questions we will ask visitors to ChemicalProcessing.com – with input from Editor in Chief Mark Rosenzweig, of course.

For several years now, Chemical Processing has been asking for our readers’ help to gather important salary and job satisfaction information that helps provide insight into industry trends.
