My comment was referencing the fact that computer science is ranked 30th by their metric of 'value', which does indeed seem to be much lower than one would have expected not that long ago. In terms of specific numbers, I'm also very curious but it's surprisingly difficult to find precise numbers. So what I did was grabbed an archive of the Burea of Labor services page on software developers. Here it is:
Unfortunately that only provides 3 data points. The first number is the nominal value, the second is the inflation adjusted to 2016.
2010 = $90,530 = $99,643
2012 = $93,350 = $97,584
2016 = $102,280 = $102,280
Not sure what can be taken away from the numbers as there's only 3 points and with mixed directionality. But probably better than nothing. Do let me know if you find more indicative figures.
