Summary

More than 900 US-based user experience (UX) professionals — including information architects, usability practitioners, and interface designers — responded to the 2007 salary survey that the Usability Professionals' Association (UPA) conducted. The data shows that salaries vary by position, experience, advanced degrees, geography, and gender.

Given market demand for UX work, hiring managers should expect UX salaries to continue on their upward trajectory.
