NEW YORK, NY, USA: Although the U.S. labor market has not yet recovered from the great recession, there are some occupations in which double-digit income growth is the norm. Chief among them are dental specialists — and oral pathologists, periodontists and endodontists and are among those leading the pack, with an 18 percent increase in income from 2009 to 2010.
That’s according to survey results published on the job search website CareerBuilder.com, and it’s far above the national average for all jobs of just 1.7 percent growth.
According to CareerBuilder, oral pathologists had average pay of $188,577 in 2010 compared with $159,759 in 2009; periodontists had average pay of $177,084 in 2010 compared with $150,023
in 2009; and the average endodontist earned $166,874
in 2010, up from an average of $141,373
in 2009.
Dental specialists aren’t the only ones with big increases in pay. According to the same survey results, pharmacologists earned $99,370 in 2010, up 10.4 percent from $90,012 in 2009;
toxicologists earned $70,273 in 2010, up 10.4 percent from $63,655 in 2009; and academic deans earned $100,771 in 2010, up 8.2 percent from $93,126
in 2009.
Other jobs with larger than average percentage pay raises, according to the surveys, are as follows: dean of student affairs, 8.2 percent; director of nursing school, 8.2 percent; experimental psychologist, 8.19 percent; social psychologist, 8.19 percent; numerical control programmer, 8.06 percent; general surgeon, 8.02 percent; medical officer, 8.02 percent; neurosurgeon, 8.02 percent; orthopedic surgeon, 8.02 percent; plastic surgeon, 8.02 percent; orthopedic podiatrist, 7.79 percent; early childhood development teacher, 7.71 percent; insurance salesperson, 7.37 percent; and credit reference clerk, 6.45 percent.
