美国在线教育机构Nexford University提供了一份2024年美国化学相关职业薪酬最高的十大职业供学生参考:位居第一的是研究科学家,平均年薪为9.9285万美元;之后分别是材料科学家(9.7419万美元)、化学工程师(9.5756万美元)、分析化学家(7.9186万美元),相对最低的则是化学技术员(5.6594万美元)和化学老师(5.4901万美元)。2022年,美国化学学会(ACS)对于隶属于学会的12.5万多名科学家进行调查,发现从2021年起,科学家薪酬的中位数增长了约7% 。另外,美国就业市场上对化学相关职业的需求也并没有降低。根据美国劳动统计局(BLS)的统计数据,到2032年,化学和材料科学家的职位数量预计增长6%,在此期间,每年将有大约7200个相关职位空缺。
