I'm following up on my original post with the little bit that I found 
with regard to salaries.  The only worthwhile data comes from the 
California Employment Development Department (EDD).

I found a neat little database where you can put in some parameters and 
get data for particular job classes for specific counties.  Here are 3 
samples (Sonoma County):

Network and Computer Systems Administrators

Computer Programmers 
<http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/cgi/databrowsing/occExplorerQSDetails.asp?searchCriteria=programmer&careerID=&menuChoice=occexplorer&geogArea=0604000097&soccode=151021&search=Explore+Occupation>
Computer and Information Systems Managers 
<http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/cgi/databrowsing/occExplorerQSDetails.asp?searchCriteria=Information+Technology+Director&careerID=&menuChoice=occexplorer&geogArea=0604000097&soccode=113021&search=Explore+Occupation>

And Here 
<http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/cgi/databrowsing/occexplorerqsselection.asp?menuchoice=occexplorer> 
is a link to the page where you can punch in whatever your parameters.

I'd still be curious if anyone else had any tips for information of this 
type.  I will post this on the SoCoSA site as well.
