TABLE 2
AMERICAN ARCHIVISTS FULL TIME
N=120

With only 120 responses shown in Table 2, further breakdowns suffer from a lack of information. It appears that Associate Archivists working for the federal government enjoy the highest median income, but this is based on only seven responses. There is an increase in median income as the size of the metropolitan area increases, but this is not a major factor.
