>For the most part, your salary is affected by supply and demand.

We've had a bullseye object lesson in the US over the past year and a half where company owners are complaining endlessly about being on the low side of the supply curve, trying to force the supply to act against their own interests via government action. Suffice it to say, I don't agree that supply and demand is the primary driver in salary budgeting, it's power.
