I see "New York" listed as a location for Perl but not for Python. That implies: 1) some general skew because of the very high cost of living in NY (even compared to San Francisco or Silicon Valley); 2) further skew because a good chuck of the NY programming jobs are in the financial sector, which shovels money around with heavy farm equipment (but is reportedly otherwise unpleasant to work in). Wall Street has done very well in the past few years, and some of that shows up as bonuses for the involved parties. I remember seeing a ridiculously high figure listed for Haskell, and then realized the reason for it was similar to the above. Most Haskell programmers I know can't actually get Haskell jobs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
