As Table 1 illustrates, the response rates for African American and Asian American alumnae were low compared to their representation in the initial mailing pool. Please see Table 2 for further data. Alumnae were also asked to indicate their salary ranges. Table 3 provides this data by the employment status of the alumna. Part time workers are more likely to be at the lower end of the income scale.
Teaching is a highly popular field, as are occupations that require artistic creativity.
The most popular occupations are listed in Table 4. The percentages for white women closely match the overall figures as given in Table 4. Data for minority alumnae should be interpreted with caution because of the low numbers of minority respondents. Consistent with their fields of employment, alumnae often must be self-directed and use higher level thinking skills. Table 6 lists the top five responses for skills used regularly and skills never used.
