Abstract:

The American Statistical Association and related professional societies have sponsored periodic salary surveys of statisticians. The ASA web site contains summaries of such salary surveys, including the 2007 SPAIG survey of industry and government statisticians, plus annual surveys of academic statisticians and also of biostatisticians. In addition, the American Mathematical Society has been running annual salary surveys of mathematicians and statisticians. A number of other professional organizations also run salary surveys of their members. A summary of data from these surveys will be provided with results compared. Also considered will be inflation adjusted salaries over time and comparisons with comparable salaries of professionals from other fields.
