Job Demand Survey 2007 - Illinois Results

"Since 1990, NACCAS has commissioned several Job Demand Surveys, to provide quantitative data on cosmetology careers, earnings potential, and job openings. The 2007 Job Demand Survey results indicate that salons in Illinois plan to hire 20,320 new employees in the next twelve months. The average annual salary for a salon professional in Illinois is $38,646. This amount does not include tips and gratuities. Nationally, the average salon professional’s salary is $35,973. Most importantly, 72 percent of Illinois salon owners who attempted to hire new employees in 2006 said they were unable to find properly-trained applicants. This means that jobs would be immediately available for salon professionals."
