Visually Examining The Salary Of New Grads

Introduction

The data in this article was collected by PayScale, which offers compensation data and software to help companies analyze their compensation.

There is a lot of variation across different industries, especially when it comes to gender and race. Earnings aren’t always the only thing that matters in a job.

PayScale’s software allows employers to compare employee salaries across different industries and locations. The company also collects information from its users about education, experience and other factors that affect pay rates.

There is a lot of variation across different industries, especially when it comes to gender and race.

The tech industry has the highest median salary, with $70K being the lowest and $100K being the highest. The service industry has a much lower median salary, with $60K being the lowest and $80K being the highest.

The gender pay gap is smaller in tech than it is elsewhere: women earn 95{6f258d09c8f40db517fd593714b0f1e1849617172a4381e4955c3e4e87edc1af} as much as men do on average at this stage of their careers, compared to 85{6f258d09c8f40db517fd593714b0f1e1849617172a4381e4955c3e4e87edc1af} across all fields (and even less for minorities). In contrast, women earn 80{6f258d09c8f40db517fd593714b0f1e1849617172a4381e4955c3e4e87edc1af} as much as men in general–and only 70{6f258d09c8f40db517fd593714b0f1e1849617172a4381e4955c3e4e87edc1af} if they’re black or Hispanic–so there are clear disparities here that need addressing if we want equal opportunity across all industries.

Earnings aren’t always the only thing that matters in a job.

While earning potential is an important factor to consider when choosing a career path, it’s not the only thing that matters. Job satisfaction measures how much you enjoy your job and how well your skills match up with what you do on a daily basis. If you are unhappy at work or if there are too many gaps between what’s expected of you and what you can actually accomplish with those expectations, then it’s time to look at other options.

There are some quick ways to check if this is the case:

  • Ask yourself if there are tasks that could be automated or outsourced so that they don’t need someone sitting in front of them all day long? If so, then maybe there isn’t much room for growth within that position anyway!
  • Is there room for advancement within this particular role as well? If not (or even if there is), then perhaps it would be better served somewhere else where greater opportunities exist for advancement through education or experience

Job satisfaction should be considered when evaluating compensation packages, both for new grads and for seasoned workers.

When it comes to evaluating compensation packages, both for new grads and for seasoned workers, job satisfaction should be considered. It’s a better predictor of employee retention than salary alone. In fact, studies show that employees who are satisfied with their jobs stay at their companies longer than those who aren’t.

For example: A 2014 study by the Harvard Business Review found that “the most satisfied workers were 2.3 times more likely to stick around than their least happy counterparts.” And according to another study by Towers Watson (a global professional services firm), 73{6f258d09c8f40db517fd593714b0f1e1849617172a4381e4955c3e4e87edc1af} of surveyed employees said they would change jobs if offered higher pay–but only 31{6f258d09c8f40db517fd593714b0f1e1849617172a4381e4955c3e4e87edc1af} said they’d do so if given more time off work!

Conclusion

There is a lot of variation across different industries, especially when it comes to gender and race. But this data is important to consider when evaluating compensation packages, both for new grads and for seasoned workers. Job satisfaction should be considered when evaluating compensation packages, both for new grads and for seasoned workers.
