According to the survey results, the corrosion feld continues to be predominantly male; however, the percentage of female respondents has increased in the European survey. Women comprise 7% of the U.S. corrosion-control workforce, 11% of the Canadian workforce, and 13% of the European workforce. Again this year, respondents who work 60 or more hours per week are reporting higher average annual salaries ($124,850 for U.S., CAN$143,428 for Canadian, and €94,500 for European participants), but the percentages of respondents working those hours are small: 9% for United States and Canada, and 6% for Europe. More than half of respondents for all three surveys work a 40- to 49-hour workweek: 64% in the United States, 58% in Canada, and 56% in Europe. The percentages of those putting in 50 to 59 hours a week are 22% in the United States (a 2% increase from last year), 15% in Canada (the same), and 21% in Europe (a 6% increase). For the most part, average annual salaries increased as the number of hours NACE International, Vol. 52, No. 7
