The 1998 Triennial Toxicology Salary Survey was conducted as a project of the American College of Toxicology. The survey instrument was a modification of that used in the previous three surveys, with the major change being an expansion of response categories for the upper end of the salary and bonus ranges. It should be noted that there continues to be a significant increase in the number of individuals reporting six-figure incomes and in those receiving significant sums as bonuses, as is reflected particularly in Tables 1 and 4. Survey methodology employed conformed to standard procedures, though the response rate for this survey remains high for such endeavors.
Salaries are in thousands of U.S. dollars per year.
Likewise, the results from the 128 bachelor's-level respondents are presented in Table 3. Table 4 presents a summary of bonuses received by doctoral level full time employees. The full survey results will be published in International Journal of Toxicology in the spring. 1998 Doctoral-level salaries Table 2. 1998 Master's-level salaries Table 3.
