There’s salary news for IT workers and then there's salary news for the rest of us. A recent study mentioned on Business Beat indicated that the shortage of high-tech workers was translating into wage increases as high as 6 percent.
That’s more than 60 percent higher than what workers in general should expect. Salaries overall are expected to raise 3.8 percent in 2008, according to Salary.com, which just released the latest results of its National Salary Budget Survey.
The survey found that 64 percent of companies plan no changes in their salary budgets. That compares with just 26 percent that plan to increase their pay levels and 10 percent who expect to reduce them.
