In its annual "What People Earn" report,
Parade Magazine Sunday listed "Logistics
Manager" as one of the top 5 "hottest jobs"
for college graduates, reflecting the increased
importance and complexity of supply chain
management. It defines logistics manager
as one who "plans, implements and controls
the flow of goods," and gives a salary range
of $35,000 to $118,000 - we assume for the
manager level itself, not just college grads.
The placement in the top 5 comes
with some credibility, as the list was developed
based both on data from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and input from management
recruiter Challenger,
Gray & Christmas. There have been
numerous other reports in the past couple
of years about the growth of job opportunities
and pay for supply chain and logistics professionals
- great news for practioners. (See Supply
