These top US companies pay a median salary of more than $100,000, an analysis shows

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 Wall Street Journal analyzed the median pay of nearly 450 US companies from security filings provided by MyLogIQ to identify the highest-paying companies. The data is accessible as publicly traded companies are required to disclose the compensation of the median worker employed within their workforce.
