As we are moving toward a more global economy, it would be nice to now what the salary standards are for other countries (especially those with competent technical writers). In the United States, labor information has been collected for 125 years by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the purpose of better understanding our labor market and how it impacts our economy. Do note that the BLS site (http://www.bls.gov) has a link to international information. Perhaps you find more information there. Best regards and we appreciate your comments, Ron Haitham,

Too bad the first sentence uses the contraction "it's" rather than the possessive "its" Interesting article. Too bad the first sentence uses the contraction “it’s” rather than the possessive “its”
