Median PR Salaries by US Region

By -

This map of median PR salaries by region is from PR Week's 2012 Salary Survey.  I am surprised that the NYC tri state area falls behind the entire western region!  Silicon Valley trumps Wall Street investment firms?  I guess so!
My favorite line in the survey:  "Recruiters continue to call the industry's best talent, some of whom are beginning to pick up the phone. "  That's encouraging and I hope it's true!!

It's that time of year, and I'm starting to get a lot of requests for advice from communication majors who will be graduating soon. So here are a few Do's and Don'ts that I think will help:
