  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the current state of wages earned by engineers in the US. In general, US engineers are seeing modest salary gains, and wage freezes are pretty much a thing of the past. Though the US economy is said to be picking up, that hasn´t necessarily translated into robust hiring or salary increases. While US engineers still make more compared to their European counterparts, engineers in low-wage countries such as China and India are enjoying double-digit salary increases.
