IT executives and managers are among the most highly paid workers in US corporations, according to a new report based on the latest data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
The BLS this week updated its Occupational Employment and Wages Summary for 2022; it showed computer and information research scientists earn on average about $155,880 a year. Database architects are the second-highest earners with just over $136,540 in annual compensation. Software developers followed at $132,000 a year.
Putting upward pressure on wages has been a combination of scarce tech talent and low unemployement rates.
