I saw an interesting chart, but can't find it now, that showed the average salary of programmers in the US hadn't budged in 10 years either... Hardly something

I saw an interesting chart, but can't find it now, that showed the average salary of programmers in the US hadn't budged in 10 years either... Hardly something you would expect if there was a true shortage.
Since I never pass up a chance for the joke: A lawyer or accountant with 30 years of experience is charging a lot of money or semi-retired... A programmer with 30 years of experience is likely unemployed.
- cellis 15y agoI actually happen to know TONS of unemployed lawyers and accountants. There's quite an oversupply of lawyers. Not sure about accountants, but they are increasingly marginalized anyways.
- lrobb 15y agoYou must know a lot of unlucky people. The unemployment rate for lawyers is 1.5%! http://www.cooley.edu/newsevents/2011/081111_lawyer_employment_rates_high.html http://www.cooley.edu/newsevents/2011/081111_lawyer_employme...
