TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

that was eaten by electronic roaches...
This is one of the articles I think you might find useful. No hard figures,
unfortunately, but a good argument or two. Agre updates it every few months.
He gives instructions at the beginning of the article for ordering the
latest version. I'd send you mine, but it's 68k and I think the other folks
on the list would have kittens if I clogged up their mailboxes.
