The ninth annual Game Developer Salary Survey has been released, revealing a slight decline overall for game industry workers in the U.S. from 2008 to 2009. Video game marketers should be pleased, however, as the business/marketing category remains the best compensated.
“The business field as a whole remains the highest compensated group in game development with an average salary of $96,408, even after a nearly 6 percent decline, and business people are the most likely to receive additional compensation. Still, there is great variance within the field: marketing and PR employees average $83,804, while executives average $129,167,” Game Developer states.
