This announcement is posted on behalf of Jack Pold and Patrick Mulvey of the AIP SRC:
A new report from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Statistical Research Center (SRC) details the initial employment outcomes of astronomy bachelor's, master's, and PhDs from the classes of 2010, 2011, and 2012 combined. The publication includes data on starting salaries, employment sectors, and fields of employment. The report also includes data on the proportion of astronomy bachelor's and master's recipients who continued their education after receiving their degrees.
The data come from the annual AIP follow-up survey conducted in the winter following the academic year in which the students received their degrees.
