I am not entirely sure that 'relative to other fields' is a useful metric in this case.

Maybe if we could restrict those fields to others in the middle of a boom or otherwise in a fierce competition for talent...petroleum and other engineers in the oil industry in the past few years, for example. (though I'd wonder if the big players in that industry have similar pacts in place).

I don't know. It would be difficult to hold enough variables constant to make any useful comparisons but there might be something in the broad strokes.
