Mankato economist blogger Phil Miller has moved Market Power to its own domain. Check out his new digs. He reports that economists make good money; I note as well that in a new survey, new Ph.D.'s are doing a good bit better this year. "Respondents to the survey conducted in Fall
2003 reported a mean expected salary offer of $68,554 for academic year 2004-05. Respondents
to the current survey report a mean actual salary for the 2004-05 academic year of $71,366 or
4.1 percent above what was expected."
