Jobs portal CareerJunction has published it latest\u00a0salary 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 \u2013 with over\u00a0130,000 job listings<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0assessed \u2013 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\u00a0South African salaries in 2018: what people earn<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

The tables below look at how salaries for the various job offerings have changed between November 2017 and November 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 thousands of posts on CareeerJunction\u2019s portal each month.<\/p>\n

Across all sectors, employers are generally offering significantly higher salaries in 2018, though there are a few exceptions, possible showing a decline in demand for those roles.<\/p>\n

Of the 93 job roles listed below, 61 showed a higher offer in 2018, compared to the 32 that showed a lower offer than a year ago. However, only 46 showed an increase above CPI (5.3% in 2017), with 15 jobs groups showing increases under that level.<\/p>\n

By far the best sector to go job hunting in would be marketing, where all job offers showed a higher average salary, most of which were above CPI. Architecture and engineering skills also proved to be in high demand.<\/p>\n

While the ICT sector showed a balance of higher salaries in 2018, most of the salaries offered were below CPI adjustments.<\/p>\n

The tables below outline the salary adjustments for like-for-like job roles between 2017 and 2018, using the upper salary boundary for those with intermediate experience. Higher salary<\/span> <\/strong>offers are highlighted in green, with lower salary<\/span> <\/strong>offerings in red. Offers with increases<\/span> below inflation<\/span> <\/strong>are highlighted in orange. Numbers have been rounded.<\/p>\n
