summary re: webmaster salaries

[LUCKDL at APSU01.APSU.EDU]

I got more requests to summarize to the list than answers in
response to my webmaster salary question.  Here are the two 
answers I did get with actual numbers - if anyone else has more 
information I will still appreciate it.

=============================================================

I recently saw a position at OHIONET (local OCLC affiliate)
looking for a webmaster with some sysadmin experience and
preferably an MLS.  They were offering mid-20's, but IMO that's
insultingly low.  *Without* the systems administration and
MLS, and without requiring HTML experience, mid- to high-20's
might be reasonable.

OTOH, I would expect a print operation to pay top dollar for
graphic design, and probably proofing as well.
