India Leads the World in Designer Salaries

Global Design SalariesAll things being equalized, India leads the world in designer salaries in an "apples to apples" comparison around the world. Apparently the design business is the place to be India. My educated guess is that it's largely due to the lack of quality designers and thus low supply and high demand equal higher India design salaries.
