Earnings of Electrotechnology,
Office 2007 Ultimate, IT Pros Exhibits Twofold Proportion Improve, IEEE-USA Income Survey Reveals
WASHINGTON (eight July 2010) — Median income for electrotechnology and information technology pros showed a twofold proportion improve from the previous year, according to the latest IEEE-USA Wage & Fringe Benefit Survey.
Median incomes from primary sources — base pay plus commissions, bonuses and net self-employment income — for U.S. IEEE members working full-time in their primary area of technical competence went from $110,610 in the 2007 tax year to $116,

Of the 12,119 U.S. IEEE members who participated in the Internet-based survey, 10,177 were employed full-time in their primary area of technical competence, or job specialty. The five largest job specialties were — in descending order — computers, energy and power engineering, circuits and devices, communications technology and systems and control.
The IEEE-USA Income & Fringe Benefit Survey, 2009 Edition, is the 22nd compensation survey the organization has conducted since the first one in 1972. The results are valuable to employers seeking to know what type of compensation package they should put together to attract and retain electrotechnology and IT professionals, and to employees seeking to benchmark their salary and benefits.
