COVER STORY
BY KRISTEN DALLI
LABOR RATE SURVEY PART 2: What You Likely Already Knew, and You’re Not Alone In last month’s Hammer & Dolly, we explored the results from
Part 1 of WMABA’s Sixth Annual Labor Rate Survey. In addition to
the facts and figures in each region, the Survey asks participants to
answer questions about their daily operations, insurer/shop
relations and employee benefits. The results of these questions are
represented in this month’s feature. As has become customary with
the Survey, it’s important to look at these results and reflect on your
own experiences (as well as how they affect the industry
at-large).
