New Report Finds U.S. History Majors Highest Earners in Humanities
By Robert B. Townsend
A new report, from the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University, on median salaries for undergraduate majors finds that history majors go on to earn fairly respectable salaries. Looking at the median salary for everyone aged 18 to 64 years old with an undergraduate degree in any one of 171 different fields, the report finds that history majors do the best in the humanities, and better than students in a majority of the other fields.
The report separates majors in U.S. history from the rest, and finds it makes a big difference. Students who majored in U.S. history earned $57,000, as compared to $50,000 for other majors in history. The average salary for U.S. history majors was 18.7 percent higher than the average for all the humanities. The average salary for other history majors was the second highest, and on a level only with art history and criticism. U.S. history is also quite high relative to most of the other fields in the survey (especially in fields outside of the scientific, engineering, and business fields).

Good Morning,
In approximately two weeks, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), an agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), will be advertising fifteen full-time positions on USAJobs as part of its new Acquisition Management (AQM) Trainee Program. This program offers a unique opportunity to young professionals and recent college graduates, providing trainees with formal training, mentoring, and other opportunities over a three or four year period to prepare them to assume full-performance Contract Specialist and Leasing Specialist positions within AQM upon successful program completion.
These fifteen positions are paid and hired at a GS-7 level through USAJobs, with promotion potential to a GS-11 or GS-12 level, depending on location. The positions are offered at multiple duty stations across the nation, and require the successful completion of a bachelor’s degree, 24 semester/36 quarter hours in business or a business-related field, or employment in a GS-1102 position as of January 1, 2000.
As a member of the Call to Serve network, the USDA is committed to meeting the growing demands placed on the department by recruiting and hiring a skilled, diverse, and enthusiastic workforce. The USFS asks that you take a moment to send the attached outreach notice to any students you believe may be interested in one of the fifteen new positions in the AQM Trainee Program. By responding to the outreach notice, students will be notified when the job announcements for the fifteen positions are posted on USAJobs so that they may apply there.
Student responses, questions, and concerns should be sent to fsaqmjobs@fs.fed.us.
Thank You.
