The International Average Salary Income Database provides a comparison of average salaries for various professions. The data are
gathered from publications and reports obtained directly from government agencies (such as the US Bureau of Labor Statistics) or from the International Labour Organization. Suppose an industrial/organizational psychologist is interested in the relationships between job satisfaction, job performance, and job compensation. She has data from five different countries on the average monthly salaries paid to computer programmers. She begins her analysis by converting all of the salary data into US dollars: Country Average Monthly Salary (U.S dollar) Standard deviation (U.S. dollar) Original currency
Brazil $1351 337.80 Real
the United States $3,370 $1,011.00 Dollar
China $165 $24.80 Yuan
Slovakia $646 $96.80 Koruna
Kuwait $2697 $809.20 Dinar
To appreciate the differences among the countries, she calculates the z scores for an accountant making $1,500 per month.
