dcblogs writes: The U.S. tech industry added nearly 64,000 software related jobs last year, but as the workforce expanded, the average size of workers' pay checks declined by nearly 2%.The average annual wage of all workers in the software services sector was $99,000 in 2012, about $2,000 less than the prior year, reported TechAmerica Foundation in its annual Cyberstates report. There are multiple theories for the decline in pay, but a common one cited by analysts is simply that the new people being hired are paid less than previous averages.
