The starting salary figures were compiled from information gathered on the EENDR questionnaires sent to1,476 individuals using addresses provided by the departments granting the degrees; 802 individuals respondedbetween late October and April. Responses with insufficient data or from individuals who indicated they hadpart-time or non-U.S. employment were excluded. Numbers of usable responses for each salary category arereportedinthefollowingtables.
