    I imagine the survey will look a lot different next year if things keep going the way they are. The article below talks about a company out in California looking for a programmer at $15/hour.

    Coding for $15 an hour?
    Could a computer coding job paying just $15 per hour signal something's wrong with the tech world?

    That relatively measly amount is what's promised in an ad for a "ASP.NET Programmer" on the America's Job Bank site. The job, which calls for "at least 1 year's experience either in school, at work, or a combination of the two," is being offered by employment services company AppleOne, according to the ad.

    When I was a director of engineering, I noted they had the opposite effect. I knew I had to pay more to keep the REALLY GOOD people I had (this was leading up to 2001, granted), but the board of directors kept telling me that their salary surveys said we were already paying too much. Salary surveys don't tell the whole story. Talent counts for a LOT. And my staff was worth more than "standard."
