Conducted annually since 2012, the ATD Dealership Workforce Study is the only authoritative and comprehensive examination of car and truck dealership employee compensation, benefits, turnover, retention, demographics, hiring trends, hours of operation and more. This study provides the latest workforce trends nationally and regionally as well as non-luxury vs. luxury brands. In addition, you can also see data across various sales volume ranges from low, medium, and high-volume stores.

All ATD members are encouraged to participate. There are two components to participation:

1. Online Questionnaire on Benefits, Hiring, Training, Bonuses, Schedules and more

2. Payroll Template - Enter employee salary data. All data is confidential. No personal or dealer identifiable data is shared or requested

The study is currently closed. We open the study early in the first quarter of the year.  At this time, we are processing the data collected from the 2022 Dealership Workforce Study.
