Fourth-Quarter Rise in Technology Wages Reflects
Improved Economy

Philadelphia ? Feb. 2
Hourly wages for highly skilled technology
professionals rose at varying levels during the fourth
quarter of 2006, but they showed significant
improvement by the end of the year when compared to
the same period in 2005.

According to the latest Yoh Index of Technology Wages,
the quarterly compensation index used by Fortune 500
companies to determine salary scales, technology wages
experienced a 1.2 percent increase by mid-quarter, and
they ended in December with a 3.1 percent increase
when compared to the same months in 2005.

"At the close of 2006, we continued to see steady
year-over-year growth," said Jim Lanzalotto, Yoh vice
president of strategy and marketing. "When combined
with today's solid economic growth, we remain positive
about the technology job market in 2007 and expect to
continue to see consistent increases in tech wages."

...

The Yoh Index of Technology Wages provides a unique
barometer of the changes in employer demand and supply
of technology talent nationwide.

It is not based on polls, surveys, projections or
other anecdotal evidence. The Yoh Index of Technology
Wages is built on solid data compiled by Yoh's 75 U.S.
field offices.

It uses actual employment activity of as many as 5,000
technology professionals outsourced on short- and
long-term projects by more than 1,000 of the nation's
top employers in the aviation, engineering,
information technology, manufacturing, scientific,
telecommunications and utility industries.
