Here is the 2009 salary survey thing that APEGGA puts together every year.

They used to have a "by graduation year" chart - most recent is 2008 I think:

Not sure about where I can find accounting stats to play with.


Doing some quick math for the whole "engineer - all industry" body average rounded numbers:

2001 - 81,000
2009 - 108,500

I think that's roughly 3.5%ish increase per year? (sorry, short time frame for me to slap this together.)
