compared with a 2.2% increase for all U.S. occupations.

U.S. life sciences researchers tend to be younger, slightly more diverse and have higher salaries and wage growth than the overall U.S. workforce.
The average salary for U.S. life sciences researchers increased by 14.5% between 2018 and 2021, compared with 10.2% for all private industry employees. This trend will likely persist through 2023.
