One year and 4200+ responses in the making, the Coroflot 2008 Salary
Survey is live and ready to rock. See how the different professions are
faring in these unsteady times, where the salaries are still growing,
and what's changed (and what hasn't) in the creative professional
landscape over the past eight years. Now in its eighth year, this is
the longest-running survey on the web devoted exclusively to the
creative professions, from Illustration to Fashion to Interaction
Design and beyond, and pulling in responses from over 60 different
countries.
Charts and a searchable database of responses are available on the survey page here; additional commentary and hints of whats coming up next are on the Creative Seeds blog here.

I have a hard time believing that someone makes 970,000/year in Algeria. Is there any way to verify your info for future surveys? I use this as my primary salary negotiating tool, and it won't work very well for me if the numbers are obviously inaccurate.
@Lindsey:
We noticed that exact number, as well as several other dubious responses. The data from which the charts are derived have had such outlying entries excluded, so you may refer to those with confidence. The individual entries in the Corculator portion, however, include everything, so that readers can make up their own minds. We are actually looking into unilaterally banning data based on outlying limits, such as the example you give, but as you might imagine, this has its own issues.
It's a completely valid concern though, and we appreciate you voicing it. For the time being, we'd urge you to primarily refer to the charts, and we'll keep you posted as we work through best practices for processing the rest.
This is eye opening. Well done Carl, thank you.
