Compare global IT salary

I am just curious as everybody around the globe is becoming so gloomy about IT, just because developers and technicians are constantly overworked and underpaid.
Yet from previous postings I do believe the salaries of IT staff in different countries differs dramatically! Taking Hong Kong as an example (though an extreme case), after SARS and other turmoils graduates of IT start off with around HKD 8K-9K.
Is places in US any better? Shall we migrate to other countries for a better return?
