The U.S. Department of Labor reports that biological scientists, including ethnoscientists, earned a median annual salary of $79,590 in May 2018. The top paid 10 percent earned $126,390, and the lowest paid 10 percent earned $45,030. Anthropologists and archaeologists had median annual earnings of $62,410, while historians earned a median salary of $61,140. Postsecondary teachers received mean annual earnings of $85,190. Salaries for college professors range from less than $25,000 to more than $125,000. Most ethnoscientists don't enter the field because they want to get wealthy, but because they believe the field is fascinating and because it allows them to interact with different cultures.

Ethnoscientists who work as salaried employees usually receive benefits such as vacation days, sick leave, health and life insurance, and a savings and pension program. Self-employed ethnoscientists must provide their own benefits.
