"HR professionals are one of the most important strategic leaders in any organization because they have the role of managing an organization's most valuable and appreciable asset, their people," Cagle said. "This position is not only one that is crucial to an organization, but is very lucrative as an employee. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics states that the average pay for a Human Resources Manager in 2012 was almost $100,000 per year."
