In 2009 risk managers in the energy sector who were based in the eastern United States earned the highest total compensation (salary, bonus-cash, bonus-noncash) for risk management jobs, as was reported in Risk Talent Associates 2010 Professional Compensation Survey covering Energy. The eastern US was followed by risk management jobs in the energy hub in the US South/Southeast. Participants from all U.S. regions report higher figures than those included in the survey from Europe and Canada. The participants surveyed include risk managers of all titles, such as Chief Risk Officer, Director of Risk Management, Managing Director, Director, Vice President, Manager, and Analyst/Associate.
