FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Social Media Week is upon us, so we thought it would be appropriate to delve into the social media industry and see how its salaries stack up. Social media is an evolving and cutting-edge field, so it should come as no surprise that you can make a great living managing a brand’s presence on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, Instagram, Foursquare and other social platforms.
The highest paid social mediaites are social media marketing managers in New York and San Francisco, raking in upwards of $116,000 each year. Copywriters are the lowest-paid people in the survey, but they can still pull in more than $60,000 a year in New York (though that could very well be offset by the high cost of living there). One surprise? Social media specialists earn the highest salaries in Detroit — clearly the auto industry is going full-speed in the social media sphere.

(The graphic shows the 25th and 75th percentiles for salary, pulled from Indeed).
Does this stack up with what you’ve seen in the industry? Do you think these positions and the salaries make sense, given the rise of social media? Let us know in the comments.
