2008 Delaware Hotel & Lodging Association Wage Survey
Summary of Methodology
The 2008 Delaware Hotel & Lodging Association (DH&LA) Wage survey was distributed via e-mail to the general managers of DH&LA member hotels during the first week of August. A follow-up reminder was sent out approximately 30 days later. Completed surveys were to returned and tabulated by a graduate student from the University of Delaware’s Hotel, Restaurant & Institutional Management under the tutelage of the principal investigator, Robert R. Nelson, PhD. All results are reported in the aggregate to insured confidentiality of the individual responses.
Fourteen completed surveys were received. The results for various positions are summarized by minimum, median and maximum rates. Where these figures were reported as hourly rates, they were recorded that way. Likewise figures reported as annual salary amounts are also shown as reported, rather than converting them into hourly rates. This provides more complete and accurate information about how these positions are paid.
All information is considered confidential and for the exclusive use of the members of the DH&LA. Any reporting or publication of these figures without the express written consent of principal investigator and the DH&LA is strictly prohibited.
