Re: STC Salary data collection

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Right, and what company or employees do you know of 
that set their offered/required salary ranges on the basis 
of statewide averages?

Without some method of extracting or extrapolating 
local information, this is pointless information.  If
you can use a web browser you can get better data
filtering from the BLS website in less than a minute.  
I still think the numbers don't reflect hiring reality, 
but at least I can grumble about wrong data for my 
metro area rather than the entire state.
