I see a lot of single digit %’s here (or low double digits on a small base). But you should bear in mind that there are people whose earnings are very heavily performance based, and I suspect for them, the $amount is larger and the % increase 2006-2007 sometimes is quite healthy (unless they’re in real estate). I’m thinking stock options and the like.
I can’t remember my pay last year, but the increase 2006-2007 is probably 15-25%. (It could easily turn into a decrease next year or 2009.)
