Abstract

Objective To estimate the central tendency and spread of health economics, outcomes research, and market access (HE/OR/MA) professionals’ wage-and-salary earnings; compare male versus female and US versus non-US earnings levels; and examine inequality in their distribution. Methods Self-reported survey data were collected in 2015 from HE/OR/MA professionals in the HealthEconomics.com global subscriber list. The study design consisted of a two-way classification model with multiple replications and three inequality indicators. HE/OR/MA professionals from the HealthEconomics.com global subscriber list completed a questionnaire. The sample consisted of 403 participants. Results Within each location, men earned higher wages and salaries than women, and within each gender, HE/OR/MA professionals living in the USA earned higher wages and salaries than those living outside the USA. Evidence of a gap was suggested by the presence of gender and location disparities in earnings determinants. Results also suggested the presence of moderate inequality that was similar for both genders and greater for non-US than US residents. Conclusions This study shed light into the labor market structure of HE/OR/MA professionals and may be conducive to more rational and efficient workforce management policies.
