As you know, you participated in our survey of income in the life
sciences earlier this year. Since you were a participant, we
e-mailed you some salary data earlier (covering income by job
level and by region. Here is the second in this informational
e-mail series.

Income of life scientists varies widely by metropolitan area.
The five highest-paying metropolitan areas are:

Wilmington, DE - $92,000
Middlesex-Essex Counties, MA - $90,698
Long Beach/South Bay, CA - $88,000
Westchester County, NY - $85,000
San Jose, CA - $85,000

The five lowest-paying metropolitan areas are:

Jacksonville, FL - $48,215
Tucson, AZ - $51,000
Austin, TX - $51,176
Virginia Beach/Norfolk, VA - $51,900
Portland, OR - $53,000

By general type of organization, life scientists in start-up
firms fare best ($80,500), followed closely by those in
publicly-held firms ($80,000). Far behind are those in
governmental organizations, privately-held firms, and nonprofit
organizations ($66,000, $64,000, and $63,983 respectively).

Income of life scientists varies more widely by specific industry
or service of the organization. The five highest-paying areas
are:

Consultant (independent) - $106,500
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - $93,150
Consulting Firm - $90,000
Laboratory/Medical Instruments/Supplies Manufacturing - $85,000
Chemical Manufacturing - $84,000

The five lowest-paying types of employer are:

Primary School - $40,000
Secondary School - $45,400
University Hospital - $51,000
College/University (granting only 2-3 year degrees) - $51,823
College/University (granting only B.A./B.S. or B.A./B.S. and
M.A./M.S.) - $52,375 and $53,000 respectively
Health Care Facility - $53,000

Although the correlation is not strong, there is a tendency for
life scientists to make more in larger organizations and less in
smaller ones.

On the other hand, there is an almost-perfect correlation between
total years of professional experience and income of life
scientists, ranging from $34,000 for those with under one year of
experience to $103,000 for those with 30 years of experience or
more.

Income in the life sciences varies even more widely by level of
education. In descending order, the income of holders of the
highest paying doctorates are:

Medical Doctorate - $138,500
Dental Doctorate - $91,943
Veterinary Medicine Doctorate - $84,000
Pharmaceutical Doctorate - $82,688
Science/Engineering Doctorate - $74,700
Non-Science/Non-Engineering Doctorate - $71,500

Interestingly enough, almost all holders of these degrees PLUS
another doctorate made less than if they did not have a second
doctorate (the one exception is those who hold two
science/engineering doctorates). However, as shown in the
complete report, this is explainable as they have had tended to
have less experience since their highest-level degree.

Income is lowest for those life scientists with the following
levels of education:

Some college but no degree - $40,000
Two B.A./B.S. degrees - $44,400
A.A./A.S. degree - $46,500
Bachelor-level science/engineering degree - $48,600
Bachelor-level non-science/engineering degree - $50,606
Masters-level science/engineering degree - $53,346
Masters-level non-science/engineering degree - $60,000
