Dear Octagonkirk, 

I couldn't find specific figures for Dnepropetrovsk. However, these
are figures reported by people working in the Ukraine in this
industry; and I also received one more detailed report regarding
programmers. However, the figures I have are general figures for
programmers/designers in the IT industry, not only gaming, Would you
like these figures as an answer?

Yes, these figures will be fine.

As of November 2001: (Salaries for IT specialists are growing at
approximately 10% annually). Source ANCOR

?The wide spread between minimum and maximum salary can be explained
by the differences between rates paid by Ukrainian firms and western
firms. Western firms will tend towards the higher rates and the
employees will expect higher pay if working at a western company.
Outside of Kyiv, for example in Western Ukraine, average salaries for
software engineers are around $200. Table 3 is from November 2001.
According to ANCOR, labor rates for IT professionals have risen by 10%
annually. For 2002, it is expected however, that wages increased by
more than 10%, (Konyaeva 2003). Beginning in September of 2002 a jump
was seen in wages which corresponded to a jump in the economy.?
