Security clearance total compensation averaged $96,515 for 2020. That’s just 3.4% higher than the average total compensation reported by respondents in 2018, the last year ClearanceJobs administered a comprehensive salary survey. The majority of respondents (38%) reported modest increases of 3% or less, and just 16% of respondents reported increases above 5%.
Frequent job change is the new normal—73% of respondents had been at their jobs for less than five years and 81% of candidates reported they were at least somewhat likely to change jobs in the coming year. One quarter of respondents had been at their current employer for less than one year.

“Cleared employers continue to feel the effects of a tight candidate marketplace, limited talent pool, and security clearance processing delays,” said Evan Lesser, Founder and President of ClearanceJobs. “Employers are simply unable to inject enough new talent into the industry to keep up with the rapidly increasing number of openings. This is a challenge being faced in both the contract and government community. That’s why we see cleared professionals in high-demand industries like engineering and software development commanding high salaries, particularly in the D.C. Metro.”
