"Average salaries on offer to permanent staff in Q1 2009:












This raises many interesting questions. (E.g., what the hell is an 
"operator"? Do you realise that "analyst" and "programmer" are two 
wildly different job titles? What does a "database administrator"

jobs on the list pay less than *twice* my current salary. O_O


Also entertaining is page 15, where there's a chart showing demand for 
various IT skills. Every item on the list has gone down by roughly 50%, 
with the following exceptions:

   HTML -5%
   JavaScript +7%
   Linux -23%
   PHP +10%
   AJAX +1%

Insert conclusions here. ;-)
