As a woman in architecture, do you ever wonder how your salary compares to those with a similar background? 

 

While many consider this a taboo topic, we are looking for transparency to lead us to social equity and have created a public survey for women architects.

​

We are pleased to share the results with you HERE and hope you will explore the information we collected. 

 

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Salary Survey. We are so grateful to have over 700 women take a few minutes to respond from over 38 US States and the District of Columbia!
