ALA Survey
A List Apart are running their 2008 survey for people who make websites. I took it and so should you 
The results of last year’s survey (1.7Mb PDF) makes good reading. From my own perspective it’s interesting to see that the majority of the 2007 survey’s respondents were:
- mainly developers (I class myself as a web designer)
- younger than me
- educated to a higher degree
- working for MUCH bigger companies
- only recently into blogging
- mostly getting excited by the web design field
- working less hours
- fairly “green” in the web industry
- not having as much holiday
- earning less but getting pay rises
It’s also funny how the writer/editor role had the greatest proportion amongst female respondents; 41.6% of females were writer/editors with the next nearest job title being usability/consultant/lead at 24.7% So maybe the girls are better writers. Their weakest field was that of developer.
Interesting reading indeed.
