Eastern Europe salaries in IT

The information below was collected from different sources in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. However, please note that the graph below does not reflect trends for St.Petersburg and Moscow, because the statistics for those cities was significantly different in comparison with other places.

Hey,

From your chart, the gap between high and avg have been increasing since Apr 06. Do you think it's because of developers level raises and employers rewarding best of them. Or is it due to lots of code monkeys taking on IT train.

I'm sorry for this confusion... Both lines on the graph shows average salary level. The higher one shows it in USD, and the lower one shows it in Euro... The gap increases because exchange rate increases.

At the same time, I want to thank you for the idea. There is also some information about higher IT salaries, so probably I'll publish that info as well after analysis.

I've just build two more graphs (lower and higher IT salary trends), and decided not to publish them. Actually, those 2 additional curves do not differ too much from the averaged one, so that information doesn't add significant value to existing picture.
