I always think this info is interesting, but it seems that this survey is about 10k higher than other sources I researched for youth ministers. Also, there seems to be conflicting info as in other surveys the N. Central and Midwest are usually lower than SE, NE and W. Its hard to justify paying a full-time over 3x's the amount of a part time person. Seems out of whack, but then again this is a publication designed for the youth worker...

Hey, You guys are blessed if you get paid. I am a full time youth leader who has about 30 youth. I work with all ages plus teach the older youth on Sunday mornings plus youth group on Wed. nights. I am also a mom,a wife and I work a full time job. Plus I have a drama team ministry who ministers on the weekends and guess what? I don't get paid a thing!!! It is very hard because my heart and body needs more time to prepare and to do all the things a youth leader needs to do.My church has denied to pay a youth leader right now but I know a man who can change that and his name is Jesus.Please help me pray for their eyes to be open to realize what I need. Thanks!!
Next you should publish a .pdf about what to do if your salary is significantly less than the figures represented in this survey for church size, youth group size, education level, experience, etc...
I'd like to see more regional breakdown. Maybe state to state? My overall package is good, but when you look at the cost of living, specifically the housing market in my area, its average. Moving from from the midwest to the west, where the housing market doubled, if not more than that.
I'd also be curious to see a "additional yearly income" section, rather than just part-time or not.
And maybe a section about spousing working, and how much they bring down. And how much reliance comes from the spouses job, as far as insurance and other things.

Are you planning another survey for 2009? If so, when? These figures are nearly two years old but very helpful nonetheless.
