How much does a Computer Programmer make?
Although computer programmers can expect to be well paid, the demand for programmers is expected to decline. This decline is due to several factors, including consolidation and centralization of systems, increased development of packaged software, the growing ability of users to create their own programs, and outsourcing of programming jobs. In 2006, the median annual income of wage and salaried programmers were $65,510. The middle fifty percent earned an annual income between $49,580 and $85,080.
