• 2009 Swann Global Salary Survey of China International Mining Industry 20/07/2010Background
  Swann Global is glad to release the fourth Salary Survey Report conducted by Swann’s Asia Research Unit with member companies of the China International Mining Group (CIMG). In 2009, Swann Global continued our cooperation with the previous participants, while many new comers also volunteered to be a part of the survey. Since 2006, Swann Global has been taking a close look at the China international mining industry by interviewing the major multinational players in this market regarding the salaries that they pay to their staff.
  
  The year of 2009 has been extraordinary for most businesses across the sectors all over the world. In addition to the standard examination of the compensation of managers, professional/technical occupations, skills and support people, there was also attention paid to the impact of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC. The outcome revealed the severity of the GFC impact on these companies, while also looking at the participants’ confidence in the recovery; especially with regard to the China market.
