The weighted median monthly gross salaries for a selection of managerial and professional positions increased 8.2% from S4,565 in 2008 to $4,943 in 2009. This follows the 3.5% decline between 2007 and 2008. 

Corporate planning managers received one of the highest increases in percentage terms (nearly 18%), albeit from a small sample size of less than 30 respondents. Operations and shipping managers' salaries grew more in 2009 than they did in 2008.

Logistics managers are one of the few groups whose salaries declined in 2009.
