How Did You Do?

This article is about job market in US.

After three long years, the job market at last seems to be reviving. The economy created 2.2 million jobs in 2004—too few to replace the 2.4 million lost from 2001 through 2003 but a big step in the right direction. There was other good economic news too: The U.S. enjoyed high productivity, stellar corporate profits, low interest rates, and relatively low inflation despite a big jump in oil prices.


Also, Parade magazine has a salary survey every year. This year it was in March 13, 2005 issue. They put pictures and brief descriptions of occupation with anuual income of people from all over US. It's an interesting roundup. It gives an idea of what is "average" income in US.
