It’s cool that the average IT pay in Buffalo has really shot up in the past 4-5 years.

4 years ago most places were topping out at 65k now stuff flys around all the time for 75-90k.

> But the biggest factor is money — as in, LinkedIn users have lots of it.

> In a data-rich profile of LinkedIn editorial head Dan Roth, Digiday’s John McDermott reveals how much.

> The social network has a “disproportionately wealthy user base,” McDermott writes, citing the analytics company comScore.

> **“More than 40% of LinkedIn visitors earn more than $100,000 per year,” he continues, “higher than 31% average for the entire web.”**

> By positioning itself as the place for white-collar workers to network, LinkedIn has commanded the eyeballs of lots of wealthy people, with nearly 80 million unique visitors a month. Its content strategy is now helping to turn those users into loyal readers, making the social network that much more attractive to advertisers.[/B]

I got my current job through LinkedIn, and had a number of promising sounding leads through head hunters that I did not pursue. If you are even remotely skilled or unique in the work force you are crazy not to make a profile.

Which is why most families have dual income

The household 100k range is over 20% in the US
