IT Is in The Money

IT salaries are projected to increase an average of 3 percent in 2006, according to Robert Half Technology's 2006 Salary Guide. The annual guide, which is based on analysis of thousands of job orders managed by the technology staffing agency's U.S. offices, also forecasts a particularly strong demand for IT professionals in the banking and financial services industries.

Base compensation is expected to rise for high-demand specialties, with some of the biggest gains expected for the lead applications developer and network security administrator positions, the guide reports. The IT auditor position stands to see the greatest gain, with a projected base compensation increase of 11.2 percent, attributed to the heightened focus on government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and Regulation NMS.
