IT Wages Remain Flat in Q4 2008

Though wages declined significantly in the 3rd quarter, and were volatile in the 4th, they averaged out to be in line with the previous quarter. According to Bill Yoh, President and CEO of Yoh, "Since many businesses have employed layoffs as the primary tactic in this economic rough patch, technology wages have not been impacted as dramatically as we would have expected."

***NOTE: I neglected to collect stats for the November end-of-month, and therefore the moving averages are reported above are skewed higher than they should be. This is because, most likely, the numbers for November would have been lower. (AVG of Oct/Sep/Aug/Jul > AVG of Nov/Oct/Sep/Aug)

Wages for IT Pros Decline in Q3

The Yoh Index of Technology Wages dropped 6.21 percent from the same time last year.

"It appears that the demand for technology workers continues to ebb," says Bill Yoh, President and CEO of Yoh. "We believe we'll continue to see softening in certain sectors as the state of the economy leads companies to tighten budgets and delay projects."
