TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
STC publishes a salary survey for the US, but I'm having trouble
getting a copy of any data except the very limited (how limited? it's
just about useless) summary they sent in a regular mailing.
I'd appreciate, too.

What exactly IS acceptable pay for technical communicators?
I'd like to know this as well. I'm not asking anyone to divulge their own
salaries, but does anyone have information on typical salaries and associated
job titles for the nation? for a particular region? Anything?
>From what I'm hearing in my local area, the major companies are drastically
reducing their pay scales (and getting away with it).
