Jobs portal CareerJunction has published it latest salary review for 2018<\/a><\/strong>, showing what the average employee earns per month in 94 jobs across 10 fields.<\/p>\n

Because the survey broadly covers the same fields and job positions each year – with over 130,000 job listings<\/a><\/strong> assessed – BusinessTech is able to compare how salary offers in each position have changed over the review period.<\/p>\n

For a more detailed look at the salary ranges for the jobs based on level seniority, you can read South African salaries in 2018: what people earn<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For a look at how salaries change based on where you live, you can read\u00a0South African salaries in 2018: Joburg vs Cape Town vs Durban.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The tables below look at how salaries for the various job offerings have changed between 2017 and 2018, using the the highest-level intermediate pay for each position. Numbers have been rounded.<\/p>\n

The changes represent the change in salaries offered by companies as per the tens of thousands of posts on CareeerJunction’s portal.<\/p>\n

For most sectors, salary changes have been a mix of increases and decreases, depending on the roles. However, for the\u00a0architecture and engineering field, while salaries remain some the highest, offers are lower than in 2017 almost across the board.<\/p>\n

By contrast, jobs in warehousing and logistics are offering much higher salaries than last year, while the scales also tip in favour of higher salaries for those looking for work in marketing, manufacturing, and finance.<\/p>\n
