About ERI Economic Research Institute

ERI Economic Research Institute was founded in 1987 to provide compensation, benefits, and Human Resource research for private and public organisations in the form of published reports and software database products. Revenues for ERI are earned solely from these cost-of-living and salary survey software and publication sales. ERI does not provide fee-for-service consulting.

ERI's research database software subscriptions are available to management, analysts and consultants and are now widely used by client organisations (over 10,000 corporate and consulting subscribers, affecting over 100,000 organisations' pay practices). Subscribers include corporate compensation, relocation, human resources, and other professionals, as well as independent consultants and counselors, and US and Canadian public sector administrators (including military, law enforcement, city/county, state/provincial, and federal government pay administrators). And with the introduction of the Occupational Assessor (eDOT) software, vocational rehabilitation counselors, forensic economists, immigration attorneys and a host of other niche professionals are now joining as subscribers. ERI analyses are not available to the general public.

ERI's online survey website, SalariesReview.com, provides patented (March 2005) online interactive salary surveys for positions and locations not covered by traditional survey vendors. (Patent Numbers US 6,862,596 and 7,647,322. Other Patents Pending.) ERI utilises SalariesReview user-inputted survey data to increase the robustness of our Assessor Series salary and cost-of-living datasets. In addition, the new SalariesReview Job Board collects information on job availability for eDOT transferable skills analyses.
