I'm looking at data from the UK. Computer Programmers seem to be on the upper end of skilled, non-managerial labor.

Still lower than a lot of other professions. I do wonder how the difference in work-culture affects the data though. I have talked to programmers in the UK who say that the environment is completely different -- 35-40 hour weeks rather than the churn and burn that you see at a lot of businesses here.



All my (UK) programming gigs have been 37.5 hours and I'e never had to work overtime. Generally it's optional at a higher rate of pay.
