Salary Survey sites that provide multiple coded salary survey sources are often using private copyrighted information without permission.

Many other online salary survey sites don't even use salary survey data - they use geographic salary differentials or scan classified ads - like geographic salary 'calculators' these are woefully inaccurate.

Salary Source sites that present Cost of Living data often use such data to 'estimate' (guess) at competitive market rates - this is often a major problem with the 'free' salary information sites.
