Craig Williams, CPIM APICS - FLWC VP Programs EDUCATION MESSAGE MARCH 2009 Jerry Kilty, CFPIM, CIRM, CSCP "Education is making a difference," says David Thomas, an executive recruiter at North American Findings Ltd., a Toronto-based logistics industry search firm. "Industry-specific degrees are being sought more by employers than they were in the past. The ones that have elevated themselves beyond the median salary are those with a higher education level, and it shows in this year's data," he adds. This excerpt was taken from a recent article in Logistics Management titled: "25th Annual Salary Survey: Swimming Against the Tide Logistics professionals are making progress on salary growth despite being battered by consistent waves of bad economic news. And was written by Jeff Berman, Group News Editor -- Logistics Management, 3/1/2009. The article also states "Another area, professional certification like those offered by AST&L or APICS, were up 3 percent at $95,000 this year compared to $92,000 in 2007."
