Wages vary by employer. The federal government and computer systems design companies pay some of the highest wages.
An increasing number of computer systems analysts work on short-term contracts. This means they may work for several companies over the course of a year. If analysts do not have new jobs lined up, they may experience periods of unemployment. As a result, their wages may be lower than those given here.
Full-time computer systems analysts usually receive benefits. Typical benefits include health insurance, paid vacation, and sick leave. Some employers also pay tuition for computer training courses and offer a retirement plan.
