Intersting. But I'm really curious as to what happened between 1999-2000 and 2000-2001. It seems like there was a huge jump in job searches and salary.

I know they cut the # of residency spots a few years back which partly explains the recent competitiveness in terms of matching into Radiology. But I would think that that cut in residency positions wouldn't show itself in the job market for another year or two.

Can anyone offer some guesses?
