Faculty Salary Data 2022-23

Nota bene: There will be a podcast tomorrow, but the blog will be off all next week. Regular service resumes March 4. Everyone seemed to enjoy the look at Presidential salaries a few weeks ago. And, since we haven’t done faculty salaries in awhile, today seems like a good day to do that. Let’s start with average salaries by rank. Figure 1 shows current averages by rank along with (inflation-adjusted) comparisons with 5-, 10-, and 20-years previously. Current faculty salaries

Presidential Salaries, Redux

Every once in a while I write a piece comparing the salaries of Canadian University Presidents with the salaries of University Presidents in other countries (see here, here and here).

New Graduate Outcomes Data

I haven’t written about graduate labour market outcomes recently, and the good folks at the Council of Ontario Universities just published some new data on the class of 2018, so today seems like the day to come back to this topic. The main reason to use Ontario data to do this is because a) it’s available, b) it provides a useful amount of breakdown by discipline and c) it has a nice long time series.  The Statistics Canada Education and
