The Bureau of Labor Statistics includes a variety of salary data.

Start with their customizable salary survey form:
1. select an area
2. select a category (for example: Executive, administrators and managers)
3. chose a level (the "get help" is great for this)
4. add the choices to your selection and then click "get data."
Tip - the data opens in a pop up window, so make sure your pop up blocker is turned off!

BLS also has some great regional compensation charts that are also quite helpful
