Methodology and limitations
- Average compensation is derived from company-reported employee and compensation figures. It is not the salary received by every employee and does not describe individual pay.
- We use the median to reduce the effect of unusually large observations and show the mean as a separate comparison.
- Missing values are excluded. Year-to-year comparisons include only companies with data in both periods.
- This article is factual data analysis. It is not investment advice, a stock recommendation, or an asset-management service.
