– Raises in 2004 are predicted to be higher than the previous two years, climbing from 2.2 percent to 3.3 percent in 2004.
– For cost containment measures, instead of resorting to layoffs, companies are employing such tactics as hiring freezes, increasing employee contributions to medical coverage, and salary freezes.
– Only 14 percent of the salary survey participants currently outsource technology positions.
