Show me the comparative money

No more peering over the cubicle to catch a glimpse of your coworkers' paychecks. (Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. ...) Now you can find out how your pay stacks up against your colleagues' wages in your city or region, thanks to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

OK, you can't track it person by person, but the BLS Wages by Area and Occupation site can help you follow salary trends for your industry and location. I found the Metropolitan Area Wage Data particularly useful in narrowing down my state and profession. A couple of clicks, and voila! Instant income info.

Now, let's say you’ve reached the top earning potential in your market. Want to follow the $$$? The site also generates top-paying markets for your specialty. (But don’t forget to factor in cost of living increases, average commute time and overall quality of life issues before packing up your house.)

And if you're looking for specific tech wage data, you're in luck: In the next few weeks we'll be releasing the Q3 Yoh Index of Technology Wages, which will break down IT salaries across numerous sectors and regions. Stay tuned!

It's good to know the average wage data, either you're a worker or job applicant. Thanks for the information!
