Does Your Age Impact Your Salary?

Have you ever wondered whether how old you are affects your salary as a retail professional? Well, according to Total Retail’s first annual Salary Benchmark Report, it certainly does. The report, which was produced after compiling 660 responses to questions around job compensation from Total Retail's audience last June, found that, on average, the older you are the more money you make.

According to the chart below (click on the chart to see an expanded view), the largest number of respondents who make $50,001 to $60,000 — 44 percent — are 25 to 34 years old.
