Occupation is in demand.
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.
