Notes:
- Means are not a good measure of salary comparisons as they are strongly influence by outliers, particularly in the high salary direction. A better measure would be median salaries but that data is not available.
- In reporting staff-pay data since 2012-13, IPEDS provides the total number of staff members and the outlay in salary to those members.
- Average salaries for U.S., states, and types are generated by multiplying the overall outlay at all applicable institutions (U.S., state, or type) divided by the number of staff of that type.
- Service: Includes five occupational groupings: health-care-support occupations; protective-service Occupations; food-preparation and serving-related occupations; building, grounds-cleaning, and maintenance occupations; and personal-care and service occupations.
- Office and administrative: Full listing is “Office and Administrative Support Occupations.”
- Librarians and academic affairs: Full listing is “Librarians, Curators, Archivists, and Academic Affairs and Other Education Services.” This listing is comprised of four occupation groups: archivists, curators, and museum technicians; librarians; library technicians; and academic affairs and other education services occupations.
- Construction and maintenance: Full listing is “Natural Resources, Construction, and Maintenance Occupations.” Comprised of three occupational groups: farming, fishing, and forestry occupations; construction and extraction occupations; and installation, maintenance, and repair occupations.
- Management: Management function should include those staff members whose job it is to plan, direct, or coordinate policies or programs, and may include some supervision of other workers. In addition, postsecondary deans should be classified in this category as well, even though they perform similar activities to the workers that they supervise.
