To inform the pathology and laboratory field of the most recent national wage data. Historically, the results of this biennial survey have served as a basis for additional research on laboratory recruitment, retention, education, marketing, certification, and advocacy.
The 2019 Wage Survey was conducted through collaboration of the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Institute of Science, Technology, and Policy in Washington, DC, and the ASCP Board of Certification in Chicago, Illinois.
Compared with 2017, results show an overall increase in salaries for most laboratory occupations surveyed except cytogenetic technologists, laboratory information systems personnel, and performance improvement or quality assurance personnel. Geographically, laboratory professionals from urban areas earned more than their rural counterparts.
As retirement rates continue to increase, the field needs to intensify its efforts on recruiting the next generation of laboratory personnel. To do so, the report urged the field to highlight advocacy for better salaries for laboratory personnel at the local and national levels when developing recruitment and retention strategies.
向病理学和实验室领域介绍最新的全国工资数据。从历史上看，这项两年一次的调查结果为实验室招聘、留用、教育、营销、认证和宣传方面的进一步研究提供了依据。
2019 年薪酬调查由华盛顿特区的美国临床病理学会（ASCP）科学、技术和政策研究所与伊利诺伊州芝加哥的 ASCP 认证委员会合作进行。
与 2017 年相比，除细胞遗传学技术员、实验室信息系统人员和绩效改进或质量保证人员外，调查的大多数实验室职业的薪酬总体上都有所增加。从地理位置上看，来自城市地区的实验室专业人员比农村地区的同行收入更高。
随着退休率的不断上升，该领域需要加紧努力招聘下一代实验室人员。为此，该报告敦促该领域在制定招聘和留用策略时，强调在地方和国家层面为实验室人员争取更高薪酬的宣传工作。
