In that case, then yes, that’s the only way I can think of that will make home price rise again (income inflation). In some surveys, some companies are starting to unfreeze pay increases.

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.

Many employers have instituted wage frees at one time or another in the last 9 nine years, and when they un-freeze them, they don’t usually make up the difference. Disclaimer: haven’t worked for a large employer, so my opinion is way out of its element there.

sdcellar, my data my be skewed, but I got my data from http://profilewarehouse.sandag.org/. I took 92126 as a sample size. Look at the median house hold income in 2000 and in 2008, according to 92126 data, nominal income went from ~$60k/yr to $82k/yr. Adjusted for inflation though, it’s ~$61k/yr in 2008. I can easily give anecdotal of my own as well. However, since most of the people I know graduated college after 2000, fresh grad engineers were making around $45k 7 years ago. Now, those same people are averaging around $85k. So, it’s well above the 35% I stated. However, I know that as your career mature, the income increase will plateau and it’ll be just around inflation or a little bit more if you’re good at what you do.

Nurses got a much steeper salary raise compare to engineer over the last few years.
