“Companies that are committed to true pay equity should see this as a galvanizing moment to push forward with their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.”
Rohshann Pilla President of Aquent Talent
A news article from ALM BenefitsPRO featured a closer look at Aquent’s 2024 Salary Guide for marketing, creative, and design professionals. The guide highlights persistent gender wage gaps and emerging technology roles. Despite signs of a shrinking gender wage gap in 2023, this year’s guide indicates that female workers now earn 90% of their male counterparts. This finding has led Aquent to emphasize the opportunity and need for companies to reassess team-building strategies and fair compensation. The guide also identifies high-demand roles in design, engineering, and operations, with salaries for positions like concept artist, AR/XR/VR engineer, and AI content moderator/auditor experiencing significant growth. Aquent’s guide underscores the evolving workplace landscape and the importance of constant efforts toward diversity, equity, and inclusion.
