Why would there be such a large difference in salaries between industries for the same position and years experience? Some industries require more expertise in positions than others. For example, lawyers in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry are paid far more than lawyers in service or retail industries for a few reasons:
1) Lawsuits against pharmaceutical manufacturers is more common than other industries.
These potential law suits create major expenses in insurance and legal fees so high quality lawyers who can minimize these expenses and have a track record of legal victories can demand a higher salary.
2) Lawyers who specialize in areas of law that are common for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry (and not other industries) such as malpractice, patent law and class action lawsuits can negotiate a higher salary.
