How much are you paying these 3 IT people?
IT salaries have long been known as some of the biggest budget busters in the company. But you might want to tell HR and other top execs not to believe the hype.
Not every job title in IT is getting a larger-percentage salary increase this year. Some, in fact, are being paid less than they were making in 2007.

It’s also great to have data like this at your disposal at budget time. Being able to view the trends in specific industries and departments can let you know how the pendulum is swinging.
