The previous KDnuggets Poll asked What is your annual salary/income and employer type.
We compared the results with 2009 Data miners salary Poll. Noting that only US/Canada, W. Europe, E. Europe, and Asia regions have enough data to be significant, we observe that in US and Europe average salaries went down in 2010 (presumably due to the recession), in Asia and Australia they went up.
