$alarie$ 1996: survey shows more, younger women in accounting field; certified continue to earn more

Article Abstract:

The Eighth Annual Salary Survey sponsored by the Institute of Management Accountants and the Management Accounting magazine reveals that compensation in the field of accounting did not increase significantly in 1996. Although average salaries rose by 1.9% to $60,944 from 1995 while average total compensation increased by 2.2% to $68,283, these growth rates were found to be statistically insignificant. Another notable finding is the continued gender-based disparity in compensation. The average salary of female accountants in 1996 was only $46,932, while those of male accountants was $67,546. Furthermore, the average salary of women fell by 1.7% from the previous year, while the average salary of men rose by 3.4%. The survey's other findings include the continuing increase in the entry of women into the profession, particularly those who are younger, with a lower percentage of advanced degrees and less experience in the field.
