The summary tables detail much of the compensation data. Data include salary, benefits, responsibilities, and regional data correlation. Data were analyzed from the 151 individuals and agencies who participated in the survey. In order to accomplish the completion of the survey, we gathered data from The Caretaker Gazette subscribers as well as from the readers of The International Guild of Professional Butlers' newsletter.
