Lots of Microsoft and Cisco, No VMware or Citrix.  Tosses in PMP even though that is a business cert requiring actual, verifiable PM work experience...

This Global Knowledge Salary Survey says PMP and CISSP are about the same: Survey

BUT! It is very important to remember how location, years experience, and other factors fit into the equation.  Lots of unemployed certs wandering around out there.  And nearly all of the salary surveys are published by those who provide the certification or those who provide the training.

And salary surveys are not all the same (methodology, rigor, statistical validation, etc.):
