The results are in, and this time, rather than a big honkin’ PDF of results, the ALA/AEA folks used HTML (HTML5, specifically) and CSS to display the data.

Of interest to us UX-types is the finding that usability/information architecture roles had a among the highest levels of job satisfaction, a very high propensity to value their education, and that job satisfaction rises with educational attainment. I’d suspect that among UX-related roles, those findings would be even more pronounced.

For employers, it’s worth noting that job satisfaction correlates more with the frequency of raises than it does with the size of the raise. Going more than a year between raises represents a major drop-off in satisfaction, and quarterly raises seem to be the sweet spot.

I also happened to notice that UX-related fields were near the top with respect to salary, but that was just a passing curiosity, of course.
