Book Description

In November of 1966, the United States Department of Energy awarded a contract to the Columbus Laboratories of Battelle to design a survey of compensation paid to scientific and engineering personnel engaged in research and development in the United States. The contract provided that such a survey would utilize the maturity or age-wage approach, under which salary data would be related to years since receipt of degree or chronological age. This document reports the results of the thirteenth annual survey, conducted in 1980.
