I’ve been struggling with historical wage inflation. Exactly where does one find an accurate source for this information? At 35% for the past eight years, that would be 4.5% annual salary that arrive like German trains.
*Very* anecdotal and I also probably just routinely work for cheap bastards, but that hasn’t been my experience over the last 8 years.
I just happened to get a nifty Dice survey and it shows the following for the U.S. average increase over the last 4 years: 5.18%, 1.72%, 4.65%. For San Diego Tech, it’s 10.05%, -4.31%, 8.3%.
Their numbers are likely skewed by sample size and methodology, but again, I’ll ask. Nice annual salary increases for everybody? Everybody from the big places should be able to chime in. Those employers set annual salary parameters, so if any has/knows/recalls those, we can at least make this a little less anecdotal.
