Related Job Titles—Junior Business analyst, Web Support Analyst, Help Desk Associate, and e-commerce assistant Employment Outlook—Employment of programmers is expected to grow more slowly than the average for all occupations through the year 2016. Sophisticated computer software now has the capability to write basic code, eliminating the need for many programmers to do this routine work. The consolidation and centralization of systems and applications, developments in packaged software, advances in programming languages and tools, and the growing ability of users to design, write, and implement more of their own programs mean that more of the programming functions can be transferred from programmers to other types of information workers, such as computer software engineers. Earnings—Median annual earnings of computer programmers were $69,620 in May 2008. The middle 50 percent earned between $52,640 and $89,720 a year. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $40,080 and the highest 10 percent earned more than $111,450.
