@zeynep@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd That linked report uses the number 22K. Pacific Standard survey of 500 said less than 20K.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@laura11D@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd The N of the survey is not relevant, but its method makes it not at all useful, sorry.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@laura11D@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd You could get reasonable data with 500, but not like that. Self-selection in this issue is huge.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@laura11D@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd I don't think you can say "this number may as well be made up" and then use it. I do sympathize.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@laura11D@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd lack of data is scandalous. It's not your fault. But meaningless numbers aren't illuminating.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@laura11D@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd Not like that. Your title says " the average part-time professor earns about $20,000 a year."1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@laura11D@ibogost@aliaemily@tressiemcphd Also problem isn't self-reporting but self-selection into sample.That 500 is probably worst off.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@laura11D @ibogost @aliaemily @tressiemcphd That isn't "average" but likely (?) bottom quintile. Again big issue is lack of data. Peace out.
