Software Engineer:

$70,000 per year.

I was forced to take a pay cut after 9-11 to keep the company alive, but it was restored two years later.

No change since 2004.

I find myself in similar conditions.
I didnt have to take pay cuts tho.

My wages continue to rise, but when fuel cost double and health care premiums rise its a wash.

As a foreman in the oil patch when I retired in 1991, was making 65 grand a year. These so called todays average wages just don't stack up for me.

Maybe we need more low paid illegal aliens to really raise the boat for everyone. S/
