It seems that the CCNA and CCNP data is skewed... It is rare to see Cisco support salaries in the range claimed by the article, so I wonder if the article itself is a form of disguised advertising for Cisco.

IT Industry salary comparisons are often confusing... Where was the salary comparison data obtained, how was salary compensation compared between companies, and who provided the standard salary data for comparison?

Perhaps the term "salary" needs to clarified by the article author... "Salary" implies a set and regular wage (not hourly) for a permanent full-time employee of a specific company. Does the author's definition of "salary" include any worker compensation like employee wage rates, contractor wage rates, health care costs or contributions, or any other tangible benefit such as salary bonus, retirement contribution or education/training funds?
