A new infographic released by Onward Search details the top US Markets for PPC jobs, broken down by title, salary, and location.

NEW YORK – Onward Search, the nation’s leading staffing agency for digital marketing and creative professionals, has released an infographic titled “PPC Jobs Salary Guide”, examining career options for search engine marketing professionals who specialize in pay-per-click (PPC) management. The guide outlines the strongest US marketplaces for PPC jobs, lists which job titles are in the highest demand, and presents the associated salary ranges for those titles and locations.

The PPC Jobs Salary Guide reveals that New York City has the greatest number of job openings for PPC professionals, followed by Chicago, IL and San Jose, CA. “Online Marketing Manager” (or PPC Manager / SEM Manager) is shown to be the most in-demand profession, representing 39% of all PPC job postings over the last year, based on data obtained from Onward Search’s proprietary Recruitics™ software.

We hope this will become a valuable resource within the PPC community for job seekers and hiring managers alike.”
