Welcome to the 2023 Oregon Wine Industry Labor Survey which reports on wages and salaries for the year 2022, as carried out by Jeff D. Peterson, Ph.D., of Vinum Docet, LLC. All data gathered is anonymously, (no IP or E-Mail addresses are collected when you respond, and only Jeff D. Peterson has access to the data) and will be kept confidential, and will be used in aggregated and summary form only to provide general labor cost information about the Oregon wine industry. Summary data may also be presented at the Oregon Wine Symposium. With all of your information ready, it should take 15-20 minutes to complete the full survey.
Please note that the goal of this survey is to mirror the Wine Business Monthly Salary Survey. Even if you cannot answer a question, perhaps because you do not employ someone full-time, or you do not pay a salary, this information will be useful to you for the purposes of comparison and setting baselines. Thus, it is critical that we have a high participation rate! You will be asked in a subsequent question to consent to this survey, after which you will complete the survey, if you agree.
About this survey and the data we are gathering:
1. There are separate sections for tasting rooms, wineries and vineyards, which will allow you to skip sections that are not appropriate to you.
2. In some selected cases you will be asked about the gender of the person holding that position, in order to gather some information for the Oregon wine industry on gender equity.
3. You will be asked questions about salary and hourly wages for workers for the year 2022.
A) Base Salary, not including any other bonuses or forms of compensation
B) Hourly Wage, full-time and part-time workers in certain sectors
You will be asked to report on salary or hourly wages for employees, consultants and/or contracted services for the 2022 year, for the following positions:
