What can a salary survey tell us about the current state of the statistics profession? Quite a lot as it turns out. In this episode of Practical Significance, cohosts Donna LaLonde and Ron Wasserstein welcome Christine Filer and Gary Langer of Langer Research Associates to discuss the findings of the recent ASA Work and Salary Survey.
Together, they explore trends in compensation, workplace satisfaction, the need for professional development opportunities across sectors, and the significant impact recent federal budget cuts have had on members working in government and beyond.
The conversation also pulls back the curtain on the survey development process—from designing meaningful questions and keeping the survey short while still capturing the data that matters to addressing challenges concerning participation and nonresponse. This insightful and highly informative episode is a must-listen!
And you won’t want to miss Ron’s top 10: “The Top 10 Historical Events That Statisticians Could Have Influenced (Had There Been Any).” Catch the latest!
