CRMCA is pleased to release our CRMCA Wage & Benefit Survey for the 2026 year.  As always, CRMCA strives to give its members the best and most accurate data to help meet the challenges within your business and to do this successfully we need your assistance. This year we have continued to leave our Position Listings and questions in similar format to other industry surveys.

Please note, just like last year some of the questions reference HOURLY versus SALARY so please pay extra attention to each question.

All survey responses are due by October 31, 2026 and we kindly request that you submit them online via this easy to use form. 

*If needed, here is an easy to use Wage Chart and the Additional Questions with the Position Descriptions for gathering wage info prior to entering online.  All submissions must be submitted electronically for inclusion in the results.

Should you have any questions or issues please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at 828-329-1671 or caroline@crmca.com.

As always, the information submitted is anonymous and confidential and will remain so for the entire process.  Participation by each producer member is encouraged so that we can provide extensive and thorough information for all members.  Only Producer Companies participating in the 2026 CRMCA Wage & Benefit Survey will receive the full results.  Any Producer Company not participating in the survey will only recieve an executive summary.  The results will be compiled and distributed the week of November 16th.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this year’s survey!

Sincerely,

Caroline Sutton

Executive Vice President
