‘Tech Salaries Take Biggest Jump in a Decade’ – ‘Mashable’

Chad Brooks says, “Working in the technology sector is paying off more than ever, new research shows.

A study by the online career site Dice.com revealed that technology salaries in the U.S. saw their biggest jump in more than a decade. Specifically, tech professionals earned a greater than 5% increase in average annual wages to $85,619, up from $81,327 in 2011.

The salary increase comes at a time when more than 60% of the tech professionals surveyed are confident they could find a better job in 2013 and when the employers are increasing their efforts to retain and motivate staff with more interesting or challenging assignments, higher compensation and the ability to telecommute”.
