Re: [Histonet] Wage question for Wisconsin
Michael, ASCP has a wage/salary survey that they distribute based upon region and certification. Some have said that this is biased as not everyone does participate. I tend to agree with the survey, but also recognize that dermatopathology is a 'specialty' type lab. I worked in Dermpath at NYU back in the 80's to early 90's and our salaries were not identical to the clinical labs as we were a part of the medical school and not the hospital. Yes the hospital was 1199 at that time, I cannot say if they are still. My recommendation is to go with what you can find from the survey, but also network with other dermpath or other specialty labs in your area that you may know or who you can connect with through others - either on the listserver or off - to possibly get a better sounding of salaries. HR at your hospital might be also able to help if you have someone there that you can work with and trust to obtain some of the data you're looking for and understands what your specific needs are within the lab. I would include your pathologists in this as much as possible as they will be needed to support your request(s) as they are essentially your clients.

Re: [Histonet] Wage question for Wisconsin
The following link is to the ASCP Laboratory Medicine article from March 2009. They do the survey every other year, so there should be another survey coming out any month now. http://www.ascp.org/pdf/Membership-Communications/Wage-and-Vacancy-Survey.aspx Advance for Medical Laboratory Professionals just published their survey on Jan. 31, 2011. http://laboratorian.advanceweb.com/SharedResources/Downloads/2011/013111/MT013111_SalarySurvey.pdf Realize that even with a state, there can be several dollars per hour difference. Let alone the differences between states in a region. I suggest taking the information in the surveys, look at the relationship between HT/HTL, MLT/MT, and CT, and then apply the same ratio within your own institute. Hope that helps. Peggy A.
