IDA's salary statistics are valid and reliable

If you use IDA's salary statistics or salary calculator when negotiating your salary and your employer does not believe in IDA's salary statistics and says it is merely an expression of the union's imagination, then you can calmly reply that IDA's salary statistics are completely reliable.

IDA's analysis department has compared salary statistics from IDA and DI (Confederation of Danish Industry) and found that after considering different salary conceptualization and populations, the salary levels for the two groups of engineers are virtually the same in the statistics from DI and IDA.
