摘要

在过去的四十年中，医学和健康科学图书馆员的中位数工资有所增长，但通货膨胀调整后的工资却低于 2008 年的水平。本专栏利用医学图书馆协会从 1983 年到 2023 年的薪金调查数据，通过讨论薪金中位数与通货膨胀率的对比表现，以及 2008 年经济衰退和 2020 年 COVID-19 大流行对薪金的影响，探讨薪金中位数随时间的变化。从 2017 年到 2023 年，薪酬中位数增长了 18%，但扣除通胀因素后，薪酬中位数下降了近 6%。这些发现对医学和健康科学图书馆员的招聘和留任具有严重影响。

Two Decades of Futility: The Decline of Medical/Health Science Librarian Salaries.

While medical and health science librarians' median salaries have increased over the last forty years; however, inflation-adjusted salaries are lower than in 2008. Utilizing data from the Medical Library Association's salary surveys from 1983 to 2023, this column explores median salary changes over time by discussing the median salary's performance against inflation and how the 2008 recession and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic impacted salaries. From 2017 to 2023, the median salary increased by 18%, but after adjusting for inflation, the median salary decreased by almost 6%. The findings have serious implications for recruitment and retention in medical and health sciences librarianship.
