In line with last year's survey results, scientists and life science professionals living in the U.S. and Canada are the highest paid out of scientists from all the countries we surveyed, making an average of $94,894 per year—anywhere from $36,000 to nearly $60,000 more than average salaries reported from Europe, Asia, and Latin America. This year, European salaries come in second, and Asia and Latin America trail far behind (though they're gaining ground, as compared with last year's data). Moreover, 68 percent of life scientists working in the U.S. and Canada report that they've received a raise within the last year. And although only 30 percent report negotiating their salaries, these respondents were the most likely to do so of those from any region; in Latin America, by contrast, only 10 percent of life science professionals said they'd negotiated their compensation.
