Usability: Job titles and activities
UPA has published data from the next survey of its members, UPA 2007 Salary Survey.
One of the first pages contains a diagram of the distribution of job titles among the respondents.
Among other things, the diagram illustrates the already old thesis that the usability mode is inferior to the user experience mode.
It is interesting to see what colleagues are doing and what changes occurred between 2005 and 2007.
