BANNOCKBURN, IL – Hourly wages in the U.S. and Canadian PCB industries are on the rise, having increased 3.3% year-over-year in 2006, while salary budgets rose an estimated 3% from 2006 to 2007.
That’s according to IPC’s biennial look at wages and salaries for EMS companies. The trade group published its findings this week.
According to the study, on average, U.S. and Canadian EMS organizational salary budgets for salaried positions increased 3.1% in 2007. Salary budgets for management positions increased 3.9%, while hourly positions increased 3.3%. Benefit costs in 2006 were, on average, 16.8% of total wages, down from 21.6% in 2004.

NETANYA, ISRAEL –A host of international universities have teamed on a $3-million effort to develop DNA-based self-organizing molecular electronics.
With support from the EU, Tel-Aviv University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Regensburg University, Madrid University and the Lausanne School of Technology share a goal to create a prototype electronic component based on a single DNA molecule, and achieve DNA-based nanodevices based on the group’s previous realization of nanowires.
The project's cost is estimated at about $3 million and is scheduled to end in April 2009.
"We expect to realize a device-wire with a controlled non-linear response, either bi-stability or negative differential resistance, at the end of the project," the researchers said, according to published reports.
The DNA-based nanoelectronic devices would be about 1000 times smaller than existing electronics, the report said.
