Interesting article on CIO.com dealing with this.

PHP seems to really be coming up.
I've escaped call centers and so can you! Certification Trail and mean pay job offers for me: A+ == $14, Net+==$16, MCSA==$20-$22, MCAD==$25-$30, MCSD -- $40, MCT(Development), MCITP Business Intelligence, MCPD Enterprise Applications Developer -- $700 a Day

    There are so many other factors involved in a worker's pay rate that this survey is almost useless. It make me think this survey was commissioned by a consortium of certification vendors.

    Yeah its not the most useful of surveys especially the way its been presented there. That's only showing change in value and not actual value of the certs themselves. Also when you've got certs like MCA on there it's going skew things slightly. There are 198 MCA's in the world as of December 2008. With a 10% increase in salary that could just mean that half of them got an extra $1000 a year bonus... It's not telling you much.
