Overall, engineers appear satisfied with their com-pensation. Almost two-thirds of the survey’s respon-dents say their companies pay them adequately. But there are always those who want more money. We asked engineers how large a pay increase it would take before they felt they were fairly paid. Almost one in 10 said it would take a 50% raise, and four out of 10 said the raise would need to be between 6 and 15%. On average, engineers indicated a 20% bump would be fair.
总体来说，工程师们似乎满意他们的工资。接近2/3的受访者说公司的待遇是让人满意的。但是他们也一直想赚更多的钱。我们问工程师多少的工资增长他们感觉是恰当的付薪，1/10之一的人提出50%的增长，4/10的人认为增长应该在6-15%之间。平均来说，工程师们暗示20%的增长比较合适。
Of course, compensation involves more than just take-home pay. The economy, however, seems to be taking a toll on benefits as well. For example, just 57% of engineers receive health-care ben-efits. Another benefit that was once widespread is employer-matching of 401(k) contributions. Only 54% of engineers enjoy this perk. Companies offer other retirement-oriented bennies such as stock options (10% of respondents say they have these), stock-purchasing plans (9% have them), and pen-sion plans (18% still have these). In fact, a little more than a quarter of the engineers responding said their company is not funding any part of their retirement
当然，工资不仅仅包括能带回家的部分。然而，从经济上讲各种保险也是个损失。例如，仅57%的工程师享受到了医疗保险。另一种过去普遍享有的保险是401（k）贡献的员工匹配（这个不懂北美文化，不会翻译，请高手解决），然而只有54%的工程师享受到这个保险。公司提供其他退休后特定福利例如股票权（10%受访者承认享有），股票购买计划，养老金计划（真的不懂，求高手）。事实上，四分之一多的受访工程师说，他们公司没有提供任何退休后的基金。
比个毛球，那样比得过。哦，数量
:L咱们没得比！！！！！！
努力把本事混起来才是正道吧！
在国内机械工程师真的就值那么一点钱么？

实际2.5w，也接近4000美元了，年薪接近5万，基本超过美国刚毕业的水平了，不过我认为这个价基本高手（没门子）才能拿到，
现实中，你一个有经验能干活的工程师工资也就是一个欧美发达国家发配到中国的一个实习生（或者跟班助手啥的）工资的1/3.
举个例子，当年我工资6000的时候，单位有个20出头的欧洲小伙（合资单位外方发过来锻炼的），在北京混，工资1800欧元，当时情况，1800欧元是当时德国法国这种国家低保的2倍左右。
所以现实是要能拿到欧美发达国家的低保水平，一般工程师就算满意了。
米国的工资让我们羡慕啊，吧里有高手知道“阿三”的机械工程师工资水平嘛？
就是工程师在“阿三”本国的收入属于他们国家什么水平，我了解的不多，但是听说“三哥”的收入在他们国家也是拿的出手的，而且社会地位也很高。

俺也可以做点贡献，解释两个名词。401K是一种退休保险，基本是自己存钱交给投资管理机构买股票、基金以及债卷，当然有各种不同组合，等退休那一天再从自己的这个账户里领钱出来。employer-matching指的是雇主一般会“配”给雇员一些退休保险，比如你自己存工资的5%，雇主可能“配”给你工资的3%。Pension是更好的一种退休计划，不过现在越来越少，这种计划是自己不需要存钱，只要为公司服务够一定的年限，公司会提供你工资的一定比例（80%左右）供你退休养老用。
美国人平均才4-6万美金，工程师有9万美金，不错啊。。。
