The 2022 ACS Salary Survey: salaries up, but down against inflation

The 2022 ACS Salary Survey, by the numbers (5,411 ACS members responded): 
Academia: $84,150, up from $77,242 in 2021
Government: $116,196, up from $104,512 
Industry: $136,000, up from $104,512

Overall median: $105,000, up from $98,000
Unemployment among ACS members is at the lowest rate ever recorded: 
2022: 0.6%
2021: 1.8%
2020: 1.5%
Unemployment has been low for the last three surveys: 
Doctorate: 0.5% (2022), down from 1.4% for both 2021 and 2020
Master's: 0.7% (2022), down from 2.3% (2021) and 1.7% (2020)
Bachelor's: 1.0% (2022), down from 3.4% (2021) and 2.3% (2020)
With all the caveats around the ACS Salary Survey (the low response rate of 8%, and that ACS members are not representative of all chemists nationwide), this is good news. Here's hoping the 2023 numbers look just as good...
