  2. Salary Study Charge • The Salary Study Committee was appointed by OSUE Human Resources and the OSUE Administrative Cabinet. • The committee was charged with expanding on the initial salary study conducted by Chris Igodan.

  4. Study Limitations • Information received from various Government surveys were not always reported to reflect the organizational structure of OSU Extension, making regional/national comparisons difficult. • Descriptive comparisons do not explain or predict the reasons for salary variations – caution is warranted when making decisions strictly based on comparisons.

  5. Research Questions • How do OSUE Educator salaries compare to other Extension salaries at the National Scale? • How do OSUE Educator salaries compare to other Extension salaries within the North Central Region? • How do OSUE Educator salaries compare to similar professional teaching salaries in Ohio? • How do OSUE Educator salaries compare to salaries for all Ohio occupations (a one value comparison)?
