According to the Society for Human Resource Management, incomes for human resource professionals are relatively recessionary proof. Human resource positions are the fourth most sought-after positions in the country, and human resource salaries have increased by 25 percent in the past five years. In 2007, median incomes for human resource careers ranged from $55,500 for an employee training specialist to $89,200 for an employee benefits manager to $170,000 for the top human resource executive.
