This year 14,015 respondents took part in the survey.
For the first time this year, in addition to the usual demographic datapoints we also asked about job titles, leading to some interesting findings about how those titles correlate with income, age, and gender.

As usual, the U.S. represented a large share of respondents, and also topped the ranking in terms of median income.
段落連結年齡
With an mean age of 33.5 years old, the average State of JS respondent turned out to be slightly younger than State of CSS (34.9) and State of HTML (35.8). As expected, age and income are positively correlated; and it's encouraging to see more gender diversity in younger age brackets, as that could indicate changing demographics Interestingly, younger respondents were far more likely to suffer from cognitive and visual impairments, while older respondents were more affected by hearing and mobility impairments.
段落連結年資
51% of respondents had 10 years of experience or less – which means a majority of survey takers haven't known the world before modern JavaScript frameworks. Similarly to age, less experienced brackets also showed more gender diversity

Larger companies continue to represent a sizeable proportion of respondents, while company size continues to be correlated with income level.
段落連結年薪
While we often hear tales of six-figure salaries out of Silicon Valley, the reality is that most front-end developers throughout the world earn far less, as becomes apparent when directly comparing the U.S. and the rest of the world.

It seems like the JavaScript ecosystem features as many different job titles as front end frameworks. But one clear trend is that anything with "engineer" in it will earn you more – even compared to CEOs, CTOs, and founders. "Developers" on the other hand are clearly at the bottom of the ladder, and might consider printing new business cards…
In terms of demographics, fullstack and frontend positions were staffed by the youngest respondents on average, and frontend job titles were also correlated with a significantly higher proportion of women.

While having a degree will ensure you earn more, turns out it doesn't necessarily have to be related to programming.
段落連結性別
We saw a small increase in the proportion of women and non-binary respondents compared to 2023, partly due to renewed outreach efforts this year.
段落連結種族與族群
Non-white respondents were more likely to be younger and have less experience – which could explain why they also tend to earn less; and hopefully points to ongoing diversification in the industry's younger corners.
段落連結不便狀態
Whether permanent or temporary, disabilities are a part of our daily lives for many of us – especially as we age, in the case of hearing and mobility impairments. The fact that many respondents who suffer from visual and cognitive impairments were relatively young could also explain why those disabilities were correlated with a income levels.
