The Mid-Year 2010 IT Salary Survey is good news for IT Professionals. The survey shows that hiring is picking up in some sectors of the IT job market, salaries have stopped falling, and for selected positions there has been an increase in compensation - especially for CIOs. Even though many fear a second dip in the economy, CIOs in larger enterprises have been give the ‘yellow light’ to look ahead and fill positions that were left unfilled last year., The same is not the case for mid-sized companies. They are much more cautious and concerned that the recovery will not be strong enough to support increased IT spending. In follow-up interviews of the participants we found that CIOs are starting their 2011 planning processes with the assumptions that the economy will improve in the first part of next year. If that holds true them hiring and compensation should pick up.
Summary Findings
IT Median Salaries June 2009 vs. June 2010

Mr. Janulaitis said, “Bonuses are trailing indicators and should return as soon as the recovery takes hold.”

Excel sheet includes means and benchmarks for each position.
The May 2010 U.S. Department of Labor National Employment Report, showed a loss of IT-related jobs in May, following a gain of jobs in April. Janco tracks ups and downs in employment in five key job categories – IT services, computer systems design, data processing and telecommunications. Data for the past 12 months shows a gain in jobs for Information Services and computer systems design and related services.
Based on this data and interviews that Janco has conducted. Janco predicts there will be more churn in IT staff as CIOs accelerate their move to more flexible staffing models. CIOs are outsourcing more technical work, including managed IP services such as VoIP and VPNs. They are hiring more contractors for desktop and security services, and they are putting more applications such as remote backup in the cloud. At the same time, they are looking to hire IT people with business and analytical skills, such as risk management and project management. CIOs report that they're having trouble hiring IT people because either they can't find IT professionals with the right business skills or they can't afford them. All of this means more turnover in IT departments.

IT Salary Survey Methodology
From the Janco Associates, Inc. database, compensation benchmark ranges are established for each normalized job position. In analyzing the study data, the upper and lower quartiles are eliminated to determine Benchmark Ranges. The benchmark ranges are then used to assess the alignment of a company's actual compensation to the marketplace for each job function. The results can be assessed using the following guidelines.
Below Benchmark Range - Highly impacted by forces of the marketplace
Within Benchmark Range - Subject to the normal forces of the marketplace for similar job functions and responsibilities.
Above Benchmark Range - Not subject to the forces of the marketplace
