[Jobs] Writing / Editing Average Salaries

[Everett Gavel]

Hello Again, All,

Since I put through that article focusing on publishing
industry jobs, I thought I'd also share this article on
various salaries, which I found on the same site.  Some
of them vary far more than showing an "average," but at
least it's some sort of reference point.

Regards,
