Project managers will make around $75K, which is approx. $60./hour WITH BENEFIT LOADING--socsecurity, health, dental, vacations, holidays, etc.

We should not confuse earning on the check with the cost for the company. When these liers say that average programmer makes MORE than $60/h they present it as $120/hour cost. BTW, project manager is not an average programmer.

I understand the difference, having been involved in employment for over 28 years.

There's no question in my mind that the $60./hour figure is a well-structured lie.

There are a few "hot-button" programming skills which will get $75-80K salaries for 5+ years' successful experience, but only a few.

Run-of-the-mill mainframe COBOL/CICS/DB2 types are earning $60K max these days, if they are earning at all.
