The annual mean and median salary analysis compiled by Pitt’s Management Information and Analysis office divides staff by responsibility center into four categories: Executive, administrative and managerial employees (including executive staff who also may have a faculty appointment); other professionals; secretarial and clerical, and technical, skilled and service.

The report includes salary figures only for regular (not temporary) full-time staff as of Oct. 31, 2007. Research associates are excluded.

Mean and median salary amounts were suppressed when the number of employees in a category was three or fewer. The net total reflects the exclusions.
