Glassdoor Economist Pay Overview
What is the pay outlook for Research & Science?
Jobs in research and science offer pay well above average and are expected to continue to grow in the future. Increasing reliance on data and technology means that demand -- and with it, the pay -- for STEM workers is increasing. However, jobs in these fields often require graduate education and/or specialised training. While domain-specific expertise gives workers in these fields access to very specialised jobs, many other types of employers also hire these employees for their data and technical skills.
