Low Income Earner

This chart indicates that gross wages have shot waaay up in the past year. Seems like engineering and IT are in favor once again, at least at the managerial level.

1. Research and development manager - $9,385
2. Computer operations and network manager - $9,300
3. Computer and information systems manager - $8,930
4. Technical manager - $8,595

My gosh, this makes me grossly underpaid. What to do, when your company is in the declining electronic manufacturing industry?

These are gross wages, so there may be some large AWS component in there for 2007. Maybe next year we would see something different as widespread decline affects most industries.

As the report shows, electrical and electronics engineers bottom out the list

1. Electrical engineer - $4,665
2. Electronics engineer - $4,615

Scopes up!
