RE: Writing Costs Worldwide

["Darren Barefoot" <darren -at- darrenbarefoot -dot- com>]

(Must resist temptation to re-direct to Google...) For Canada and
Europe, take a look at STC salary surveys:

For Europe, there are hardly enough respondents to be statistically
reliable, but it's still informative:

I also happened upon a survey from the STC's chapter in Israel:
http://www.stc-israel.org.il/PDF%20FILES/Survey_2000.pdf

Bonus link! Here are people listening to the survey results:
http://www.stc-israel.org.il/album/SalaryEvent/Home.htm. They look
unimpressed. 

For Canada, check out the main North American STC salary survey. I may
be wrong, but I suspect it's being harboured behind a log-in on the STC
site. Can somebody verify this? Thanks. DB.
