A List Apart: Web Design Survey Results
A List Apart has released their 2007 Web Design Survey results.
They received 33,000 reponses to their 37 question survey and massaged all that data into 80 pages of interesting findings. Not only do they share the summary of age, ethnicity, salary, and job field, but they also dive deeper to examine questions such as how many women felt their was a gender bias and is that bias reflected in their salaries. It is an impressive undertaking and worth a read.
Even though “Developers” seem to be well represented in the survey, keep in mind that the ALA audience skews toward designers, designer/developers and those interested in CSS, accessibility and usability, instead of hard-core code heads. If you surveyed enterprise Java developers or Oracle database administrators you might get different results.
