I just discovered SimplyHired that tracks employment trends based on US data, which shows remarkable come back on jobs related to knowledge management.
However, it reports typical salaries of $58,000 and further analysis is required to understand how it is calculated. On SimplyHired’s defence, they clearly states that
average knowledge management salaries can vary greatly due to company, location, industry, experience and benefits. This salary was calculated using the average salary for all jobs with the term "knowledge management" anywhere in the job listing.
Above method raises serious questions about the validity of the calculation. But in the absence of significant competition, it is better to have this type of information than no information at all.
Perhaps it is time, someone introduces a similar product in UK and Europe. Do you know any such product(s)? By the way, SimplyHired is used by LinkedIN and according to Alexa, attracts well over 4.6m unique visitors, and the site highlights 5.7m jobs across the web.
