AGI releases geoscience salary survey

AGI's 5th fact sheet in the Geoscience Currents series reports that geoscientists salaries shot up 10-23% in 2005 over 2004, depending on years of experience and degree level.

With 2 years of experience or less, geoscientists earned an average $74,000, 9.7% over 2004.

Twenty years or more got you an average of $139,000, which was more than a 23% increase over 2004 salaries.

I'm surprised that the most recent data they have is from 2005.
