The 2014 QP Salary Survey was emailed to 60,559 ASQ members throughout the world. There were 7,618 individual responses, which translates into an impressive response rate of 12.6%. Some responses were deleted from the data set because they were incomplete, included implausible earnings amounts that couldn't be validated or were duplicate responses. After invalid responses were removed, the result was a total of 6,903 usable responses. Each response fell into one of the employment categories in Table 1. The data from the 6,565 full-time and part-time regular employees and the 64 regular employees who also work as self-employed consultants were used to create the 20 sections in "Part 1. Regular Employee Results." The data from the 136 self-employed consultants and the 64 regular employees who also work as self-employed consultants were used to produce the four sections in "Part 2. Self-Employed Consultant Results."
