U.S. architecture firms have experienced modest improvements in business conditions over the last two years that has resulted in very small gains in compensation levels for staffs. Between 2001 and 2013, the average total compensation increases for architecture positions were only slightly more than one percent per year, according to the 2013 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Compensation Survey[1].

Average compensation		2013	2011	2008
Senior design/project management staff		99,400	94,900	98,800
Architects/designers		73,000	71,600	71,600
