The Architecture Lobby is an organization of architectural workers advocating for the value of architecture in the general public and for architectural work within the discipline. […]
The Architecture Lobby survey that is being distributed here gathers information that provides evidence for ourselves and for the public about the nature of our work and where we do and do not place value; where we could and should demand respect.

UPDATE: Please take the Archinect/Architecture Lobby survey on job satisfaction here.
---
Frustrated by a lack of professional agency and fair compensation, an organization of architectural workers known as the Architecture Lobby are vying for a renewed critical appreciation of the architecture profession, from both the architectural community and the general public. To make their appeal, the Lobby is gathering data from architectural workers (architects, designers, administrators) and their firms through a 70 question survey.
In a similar effort to increase transparency and accountability within the profession, Archinect launched the Architecture Salary Poll in April of 2013. You can anonymously submit your employment information in an ongoing effort to generate real data on the profession over time.
Contribute to the Architecture Salary Poll.

Architecture lobby, really? Time to Unionize?
Architecture has lost it's services to computer technology, standardized construction methods, globalization, and an ever expanding gap between filthy rich and just plain poor.
Architecture was held as such a 'high class' profession for thousands of years because ppl were really dumb, most people couldn't even read a hundred years go. Now that most of the globalized world can read, computers are cheap, and typical construction methods and supplies are available to millions, who is stopping really anybody with the ambitions to build?
Well, in American it has been NCARB, AIA, collegiate institutions, and architects themselves that have been roadblocking the profession.
Who is running this survey - if we want to renew critical appreciation, it will not be from within the discipline hence this is bs.
lobbist make lots of money....
