There's a few statistics about salary adjustments for work that is perceived as more or less socially responsible in Jeff Schmidt's book "disciplined minds".
What is the "moral reservation premium" in salary expected in return for selling out and working for an employer seen as less socially responsible?
* a typical student would rather work as an advertising copywriter for the american cancer society than an advertising copywriter for camel cigarettes, and would want a salary 50% higher to do it for the cigarette company
* a typical student would want +17% salary to work as an accountant for a petrochemical company instead of doing the same job for an art museum
* "men are more likely than women to sell out, and this accounts for at least part of the gap in average salaries between men and women"
