The Salary of a Forensic Anthropologist
The salary rage for a Forensic Anthropologist varies depending on the employer, the level of education the person has and the state in which they work, “Though for a regular anthropologist the median pay in 2010 was $54,230 per year or $26.07 per hour”, (bls.gov 6).
Anthropology and forensic anthropology is basically the same thing except with an emphasis in forensics and human remains, anthropology is the study of the development, origin, and behavior of human beings in the past and present, but a forensic anthropologist creates a profile on the physical characteristics by analyzing the bones that the person left behind.
The U.S bureau of Labor Statistics also mentions that “anthropologists working in the Federal Executive Branch earn $70,800 a year, those who work in the management, scientific, and technical consulting services earn $46,280, in scientific research and development services, $45,370, and working as an anthropologist in educational services; state, local, and private earn about $44,280 yearly.”(bls.gov 6)
These were the median wages of an anthropologist as of May 2010. But as mentioned before the salary for a forensic anthropologist can vary depending on where and for whom they work.
