What Did We Learn?

At the end of our first year with the CEO Pay Ratio, Pearl Meyer analyzed information from Main Data Group on more than 2000 public proxy disclosures and confirmed some expected ratio trends by industry and company size, as well as median employee pay figures. We have summarized our thoughts on what the information does—and does not—tell us about executive and workforce pay. In collaboration with NACD, we released our 2018 findings.
