How these numbers work: A major does not have its own salary. Early and mid-career pay is what people who hold this degree earn at the start of their careers and midway through them. Career pay comes from the 4 careers an International Business degree commonly leads to, and counts everyone in those jobs, including people who have been doing them for thirty years. The two answer different questions, which is why they do not match.
The New York Fed does not report International Business on its own. Its early and mid-career figures here are for General Business, the broader group it places this major in.
1 of 4 careers this degree leads to is projected to grow faster than average from 2024 to 2034. Of those, Supply Chain Manager has the most openings, about 18,500 a year.
