Shops answer big questions.

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).
