Yours is anecdotal, too -- you just stated it as fact. Where are the data?

As already pointed out this covers 2001 to 2008. I'm interested in 2001 to 2003/4 inclusive. Tech salaries obviously went up between 2001 and 2008, everyone in the Bay Area knows that.

If the data for this specific range is available, I'd love to see it. Perhaps I missed it.
