According to an article in the THE the answer is still yes, even though the wages are dropping off steeply.

Hi Dan,
I certainly look up to my supervisor, so I think that there is a lot of prestige attached within a particular field. I think the THE article is really talking about in the wider world - do non-academics get impressed by academics. I think that being able to use Dr. or Professor certainly carries some weight, but still in very limited circles. I'm not sure the general public really notices.
