Industry Statistics
Candidates with a certification or a master's degree – particularly those with a concentration in human resource management or an MBA – have the best job prospects. According to Salary.com, in 2023, the median annual salary of human resource managers was $128,032. The employment of human resources managers is also expected to grow by 6% over the next 8 years, creating over 10,000 new positions by 2029. Therefore, professionals with advanced degrees and a solid background in human resource programs, policies, and employment law should have better job opportunities (Occupational Handbook, Bureau of Labor Statistics).
