You might look here:

1999 ACA survey:

from 1998 Records management list message:

Occupational Outlook Handbook

a bit dated -- 1996 SAA Salary Survey

Also -- an interesting "salary calculator" by job type and geographic
location:
http://www.collegegrad.com/salaries/salaries.shtml

-- choose the geographic area then do an "advanced job title search" using
"archivist".  Here's what it says about archivists in New York City:

"A typical Archivists working in metro New York -- New York is expected to
earn a median base salary of $40,245. Half of the people in this job are
expected to earn between $39,315 and $48,625 (i.e., between the 25th and
75th percentiles). These numbers are based on national averages adjusted
by geographic salary differentials. (This data is as of June, 2001)."
