  Unclick the "search job titles only" for this one, gets you much better data.

  If that is your question, I would hope that you make much less than the average salary for that library.

    Like it or not, Javascript is one of the most important languages around. It's also the language that people feel they can code without knowing -- hence all the shoddy JS out there. While it's not perfect, JS frameworks help, and I think someone should be looked down upon for wanting to know which one is the best use of their time.

    laughs Come on paddy_m, it was mostly a joke. Last year at work, we compared lots of javascript libraries out there and discovered that they are mostly pretty difficult to compare. You have to get past the similarities and style semantics to discover which one to use. Some points of comparison I thought were not too valuable had traction with developers while some that I thought were important were not. This was just another inane data point showing the current popularity of various javascript libraries. One thing that is ironic is that, at least when I generated the statistics, the easiest to use library, jQuery, also had the highest paying jobs associated with it. I suppose ease of use generates higher usage, which means more popularity of the framework, which translates into higher pay for those that get it.
