Twenty-five top US companies paid workers a medium average salary of more than $100,000 in 2021, according to an analysis conducted by The Wall Street Journal.

Many of the highest-paid workers were in the tech sector, where competition for highly technical talent has pushed salaries up over the past few years.

Although the tech industry is experiencing a recent hiring slowdown, many tech companies have previously been engaged in a war for qualified talent as the labor force struggled to keep up with employers’ technical needs.

The data is accessible as publicly traded companies are required to disclose the compensation of the median worker employed within their workforce.
