EE Times 2002 Salary Survey

According to the "EE Times 2002 Salary Survey," you're making better money today than you were a year ago. If you happen to still be employed, that is. $89,100 is the average salary for an electrical engineer this year - up from $82,900 last year. Less than a decade ago, in 1994, the figure was $59,800. For some reason, stock options have lost their attractiveness in the last year ;-). The average starting salary last year for new grads with a BS degree was just over $50k. Average household income for an EE with working spouse was $125,038. Man, I must be doing something wrong!
