Re: TW Wages vs. numbers of TWs; WAS: Fantastic reference tool

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

YMMV depending on where you live and work, but I hope not.  The numbers cited 
are indicative of near-zero employment growth since the crash of the last tech 
boom and a ~20% increase in average wages during a period in which the inflation 
rate was 28%.
