Tech Wage Forecast

The wait is over! Today we released our quarterly compensation report, the Yoh Index of Technology Wages.

After gathering information for the second quarter of 2007, research shows that wages have held strong again.  This projection is bright considering the normal slow-down in hiring that inevitably comes with the spring and summer months.  The average hourly wage for professionals in technology was $31.61 during the middle of the quarter, only a slight drop from last quarter’s record breaking wages.

Some items of interest from the report: SAP® Technical Consultants and Hardware Designers continue to be among the jobs in greatest demand. They also reported the highest hourly wages at $85.53 and $65.63, respectively. 

Our index is based on more than 1,000 businesses in various technology fields, along with over 20,000 paychecks to more than 5,000 technology professionals.  Want to learn more about the Index?  Click here, or download the full report instead!

We’re expecting to see more competitive wages for the rest of this year, and even into the early months of 2008, as the market for qualified technology workers continues to rise.  If you want be the first to know where wages are headed next quarter, subscribe online.
