(Nice n...) * Expert review and usability testing were the most utilized techniques. * Eye-tracking and accessibility testing were the least utilized. * The average salary for males was $82,882; for females, $74,316.

Paul,

You pulled out some other items of interest when you blogged the salary survey:

* UPA received 1,329 responses. (Nice n…)

* Expert review and usability testing were the most utilized techniques.

* Eye-tracking and accessibility testing were the least utilized.

* The average salary for males was $82,882; for females, $74,316.

Question on that last bullet. Is there a glass ceiling for female usability practioners?
