Inspector and Technician Attrition and Compensation
Prince George's County
Summary
DPIE is losing inspectors and engineering technicians to other jurisdictions that pay more, with a chronic 19% attrition rate. The engineering salary study helped, but no comparable study has been done for inspectors — and the committee wants OHRM to act before vacancies climb back toward the 53 seen a few years ago.
