Question for the GS on office manager pay scale

[Slinger]

My wife currently has the "title" of Office Manager at a somewhat small in size heavy equipment rental company. She has an associates degree in accounting. She has currently been with this company about 5 years now and has been in the business for around 15 yrs. She takes care of all the bookkeeping, payroll, payroll taxes, state taxes, accounts receivable, accounts payable, reconciling of accounts, handles the insurance policies on all the equipment as well as all the regular secretarial duties. With this job comes no health insurance or 401K. She moved here (east of Houston) from a small town where she felt like the pay was somewhat competitive. She's not one to jump ship but I told her to do some research on pay and that I would do some as well in an attempt to see if what she is getting paid is on par..... So here's my first research attempt. Thanks guys and gals for any input or guidance.

Different type of business (120 employees), but our office manager handles similar tasks and has similar experience and background. She makes mid 40k's. This is in the Austin area.

My wife has done that exact job for the past 8 years for a decent sized commercial real estate company, except no degree. She does have her real estate license, but it's not used/necessary for the position.

She just got a bump this year and is making between 45k & 50k/year.

Hope that helps. Any other questions, I can probably get you answers.

EDIT: She has 401k and the option of insurance, but its not very good so she's on mine.

Thank you for your input and the info sir.

Im not saying she doesn't get pad much for what she does since I have no clue what the pay scale for her type of job is. I will never think she makes enough. A 401K and Insurance is always a plus but I have both so she is ok.

Thanks for the info sir. I do need to add that she does have vacation though. So that is one benefit. Lol
