The 2017 Survey of Earned Doctorates is out

The 2017 Survey of Earned Doctorates is out. Here's the data on graduates in the 2017 academic year and their post-graduation plans. I've taken a screenshot, here's the data in PDF and Excel format.

A quick look indicates that the percentage of respondents who have definite employment plans is up 4% from 2016 (29% from 25%). The percentage of respondents who have no definite plans has decreased by a similar percentage.

Also of interest is the overall median basic salaries of new chemistry Ph.D. graduates who are not postdoctoral fellows (PDF):

Academia: 50,000
Industry: 93,000
Government: 65,333
Nonprofit: 75,000
Other: 50,000

    Salary in industry seems high and government seems low.
