WASHINGTON (8 July 2010) — Median revenue for electrotechnology and information technology professionals showed a twofold proportion increase from the previous year,

Median incomes from primary sources — base pay plus commissions,
Office Enterprise 2007, bonuses and net self-employment revenue — 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 $116,000 in 2008. The 4.9 percent boost more than doubled the 2.4 percent rise from the previous survey.
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 Wage & 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 pros, and to employees seeking to benchmark their income and benefits.
The 82-page survey is available electronically at
IEEE members who responded to the wage survey receive five free uses of the IEEE-USA Income Calculator, which uses data from the report. Go to ,
