1. I have seen wage statistics that showed no real wage gain when compared to ~20 years ago. 2. The conclusion was a %. It would be higher if the study were done right. It is hard to guess how much higher, but the trend is for it to worsen. 3. I was a software engineer for 33 years. Your attitude about "skill level required" was typical. Unfortunately, it resulted in bad software and failed systems. The dot com days were an aberration, but Indian software salaries are not close to what American software salaries should be. 4.
