PayScale doing more to let you know you're underpaid

Hating your job is one thing, but hating your job only to find out that you're getting paid less than you should be is a whole other problem. Not only are you unhappy with your position, but then you're forced to be jealous of those making more, and angry at your workplace for not paying you, and then feeling inadequate and insecure and vulnerable because you're being taken advantage of. And you want to quit but you can't quit because you've got rent to pay and now you'll never get that new car that you wanted and that pretty girl down the road will never love you because you don't make enough money and the Student Loan people won't shut their greedy little... where was this going? Right, sorry. Depression aside, the ability to compare your salary with that of someone with a similar job and experience level is a wonderful thing. PayScale has been offering this service for years, but are now set to announce a new feature.
Soon they will launch a Syndication Center that will allow for greater access to their data, going so far as to offer the ability for web publishers to embed the data on their sites. They will have a list of tools that you can add to your website to really give your readers a lot of information. This can only be good for workers who are constantly wondering if they're being given a fair deal. PayScale already provides data do job sites like CareerBuilder and Jobster, and gets more than 1.5 Million unique visitors a month. It is definitely a good resource to find out exactly what your company thinks of you.
