Standing on its own, 2013 looks like a good year for salaries. Eighty-two percent of our respondents earn more than $60,000 a year in gross salary; nearly 43% of those earned more than $100,000. However, that's a 14% drop from the 96% that fell into the $60K category in 2009. Interestingly, the real hit to big salaries came in 2010, when the number earning more that $100,000 a year fell 9% from 36% to 27%. That began rebounding in 2011, when the number was back up to 35%. Last year it was up to nearly 40%.
