Tech Salary Survey

[Mikalac Norman S NSSC]

the DOL Occupational Outlook Handbook (bulletin 2520) has salaries for every
job classification, including IT types.  DOL also has historical info on all
job classifications by all kinds of subgroupings going way back.  DOC has
similar data too.  i looked up the wage stats by county in their 10-year
economic surveys when i wanted convincing evidence that the "rust belt"
counties had eroded per capita income in the period 1954 to 1994.  (per
capita always increased in the rust belt, but less than the national
average, implying it was above average elsewhere).

2520 shows these median annual earnings data for 1998:

computer systems analysts-----$52,180
computer engineers------------$61,910
computer support specialists--$37,120
dbase administrators----------$47,980
all other---------------------$46,670

above data available by industry and US location too.

computer programmers----------$47,550

(this in a separate category)

Are there recommendations on where I might be able to find salary survey
information for computer jobs for 1998 - 2000?  I am digging around and
looking for some resources I may be missing (e.g. govt. reports, articles,
etc.).
