Characteristics and Salaries of Agricultural Economists
1969
Melichar, Emanuel
Employment and salary characteristics for agricultural economists as of 1966 differ from those of general economists and other scientists in several respects. Educational institutions employed 58 percent of agricultural economists as against 45 percent of economists generally and 36 percent of all scientists. Only 9 percent were employed by business and industry as compared with a third of all economists and 41 percent of all scientists. The geometric mean basic salary received by agricultural economists was $13,000 as compared with $13,600 for all economists and $12,100 for all scientists. Academic degree attained and length of service have a greater influence on salary variation than age, type of employer, or primary work activity.
