A new guide from Robert Half breaks down the latest trends in salaries and compensation packages, including the most common benefits offered to employees.

The guides feature salary ranges for hundreds of professional occupations in the accounting, finance, technology, creative, legal and administrative support field, and also highlights midpoint (50^th percentile) starting salaries for a number of positions across 10 cities. For example, the midpoint starting salary for a senior accountant in St. Louis is $74,625, versus $105,000 for the same job in San Francisco.

Another high-level chart in the report describes the most common benefits offered to employees. Robert Half surveyed 740 human resources, compensation and benefits executives in North America, and found that 95 percent offered medical insurance, the most popular benefit; followed by dental insurance (89 percent); life insurance (88 percent); vision insurance (81 percent); accidental death and dismemberment insurance (79 percent); and disability insurance (78 percent).
