Earnings

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) does not provide salary information for futurists, but salaries for full-time futurists are similar to those earned by college professors. The DOL reports that college professors earned median annual salaries of $84,380 in May 2023. Earnings ranged from less than $49,440 to $182,710 or more.
