This varies very much depending on the state or department you work in. I work for the Government in Florida and the average IT pay was much lower than comparable jobs in the private sector. In IT I saw differences of about 20K in pay. I was looking at the salary scales and comparing them to the average for things like DBA/Sys Admin/Programmer.
