== Employments and salaries==
According to a 2015 salary survey by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the median annual salary for a chemical engineer was approximately $127,000.<ref name=AIChEsalary>Chemical Engineering Progress June 2015</ref> The survey was repeated in 2017 and the median annual salary dropped slightly to $124,000. The decrease in median salary was unexpected. A factor contributing to the decline may be that 2017's survey was conducted by a different research and analysis firm. Median salaries ranged from $70,450 for chemical engineers with fewer than three years of experience to $156,000 for those with more than 40 years in the workforce.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aiche.org/chenected/2017/06/announcing-2017-aiche-chemical-engineering-salary-survey|title=Announcing the 2017 AIChE Chemical Engineering Salary Survey|date=2017-06-14|website=www.aiche.org|language=en|access-date=2019-11-02}}</ref>
