Industrial-Organizational Psychologists

In May 2023, all psychologists earned salaries that ranged from less than $52,430 to $151,880 or more, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. However, industrial-organizational psychologists earned a median salary of $147,420 (much higher than the median of $92,740 for all psychologists). The American Psychological Association reports that some I-O psychologists earn $250,000 or more a year. Benefits for full-time workers include vacation and sick time, health (and sometimes dental) insurance, and pension or 401(k) plans. Self-employed I-O psychologists must provide their own benefits.
