摘要:Based on government survey data that were analyzed, this study found that there are several major differences in the salary trends of computing professionals. Up through 1999, every group was reporting pay increments. Since 2000, some salaries were shown to have decreased or were increasing at a nominal rate across the board. Some job categories were more resistant than others, but overall, almost every category was affected by the economic downturn. However, when the data set was segmented by gender, the findings showed that the recession effects were very different. In some areas, male salaries continued to increase at rates that were comparable to those before the recession while female salaries for the same jobs suffered a decrease. The salary gap showed some recoveries after that. However, female salaries continued to lag behind more during the latter part of the recession period. Put another way, the evidences showed that the pay gap or inequity gap had a tendency to widen during a recessionary period as well as beyond.
