Meanwhile, the tech job market has come roaring back almost to its pre-2001 heights, and skilled techies can pick and choose among job offers. Pay has gone up accordingly. A new survey of 1,000 tech employers by staffing firm Yoh (www.yoh.com) shows tech wages overall at their highest point since the dot-com bubble burst. Tech consultants now command an average of $83.72 per hour, hardware engineers earn $75.68, and ETL developers pull down $66.52. (To see the full study, go to www.yoh.com/YohIndex.)
