Software Developers Taking a Starting Salary Hit?

http://www.eweek.com/index2.php?option=content&task=view&id=48021&pop=1&hide_ads=1&page=0&hide_js=1[^] In the article it says: "A shrinking dollar forces technology workers to accept positions at lower salaries than they did just a month ago" Wouldn't a shinking dollar mean you would have to pay more for the same services? I understand its really due to the slouching economy, but something in that statement just strikes me as odd.

While the salary numbers stay the same, the "shrinking" dollar means less buying power, i.e. a lower standard of living. Indications are we passed point of peak world oil production around 2005, and prices will keep increasing and never come down. (Google Hubert Peak.) It's going to get a lot worse.

In the article the salary numbers did not say the same...

Unfortunately, Your are right. Maybe its time for Amercia to start producing and consuming.

Our current petrol price (cheapest possible, the Jet chain) in Sweden: Tada! 13.00 SEK = 2.15683 USD Per litre. You were saying... ?

Congratulations. There's a variance in prices in different countries, but in the coming years it's going to get more expensive, and no country will be immune. Apparently once the halfway point is passed, it becomes more and more expensive to get the oil out of the ground. The Hubbert Peak is a mathematical model of oil production that has been shown to be accurate over the past few decades.

USD 2.16 per litre is USD 8.16 per gallon. It'll be awhile before we get to where Sweden is today. . .I hope.

The gvt. has been trying for years to maintain the low gas prices here in the US compared with the rest of the world, with great success. Most Americans don't know how good they've got it.

In 1975 when I was in my early 30's the median (not average, but median) salary for white males was $40,000.* This year the median salary for white males in their 30's is $35,000* * using 2008 dollars
