This infographic was submitted by Robert Half International, who provided this description:

Find out what you’re worth with Robert Half’s salary guides for accounting, finance, technology and administration professionals. Founded in 1948, Robert Half International is the world’s leading specialised recruitment firm and the first to provide placement services for accounting, finance and information technology professionals.

Though this is a very brief infographic–and not that that’s a bad thing–it does a great job of keeping text light, utilizing data viz and staying visually entertaining. It even does this despite the white background and gray accents, maintaining a look of professionalism while being engaging.

It’s clear through both graphs and visual cues which numbers are the most significant. Take the amount CFOs expect salaries to rise–the 34% value is clearly the highest, but it’s also highlighted in blue, making the recognition of its significance instantaneous. The use of iconography mixed with data visualization also spices things up, as in the final graph.

The call to action is well-executed at the bottom, too, not acting as a sales piece but a “learn more here” invitation.

My nit-picky critiques are, well, nit-picky: in the first visualization, I assume that the red characters are representing the 48% that plan to see salaries rise, and the remaining white characters don’t expect salaries to rise. So why is the white character on the end jumping/rising? If anything I think he’d be a bit downtrodden that salaries won’t be rising. Also, in the headline “for those that expect to increase salaries,” I’d think that “for” should be capitalized–and “that” could be changed to “who”. But again, small details. (It’s also a little odd to see the logo at the top and bottom of the infographic, but not outlandish.)

Overall I’d give this infographic an A-! It does its job briefly, doesn’t linger around too long or beat around the bush, and it appears clean and accurate.

The infographic, by Term Life Insurance, shows the most hazardous jobs in America and what they pay. The infographic begins by stating that in 2009, 4,340 workers lost their lives due to fatal occupational injuries in the USA. The infographic is meant to examine the most dangerous jobs, the risks of each occupation, and what you can expect to get paid for potentially putting your life in harm’s way.

The bottom of the infographic includes a key that explains the different types of accidents, which include transportation incidents, contact with objects and equipment, assaults and violent acts, falls, exposure to harmful substances, fires and explosions. The other part of the key shows an expected wage using dollar signs. Finally, the key explains that the number next to each job type is the fatal work injury rate per 10,000 full-time equivalent workers.

The jobs are ranked by this final number, with fishers having the largest fatal work injury rate at 20 fatalities per 10,000 workers. Of these fishers, most get paid $20-$30K/year while the top tier can expect to earn $50-$60K/year. Out of all the workers, only pilots get paid a six figure salary, which seems pretty unfair considering all of these jobs do quote a lot for our country and risk quote a lot to do it.

In the end, the infographic is pretty clear and does a great job of making its point. If there was one thing I could change it would be to put the key at the top of the graphic instead of the bottom, because the infographic is confusion for anyone looking at it above the fold, which is when most people will decide whether or not to scroll and see the entire graphic.
