rémunération

Selon une étude de Glassdoor Economic Research, un patron américain gagne en moyenne 200 fois plus que ses salariés. Et dans certaines entreprises, ce ratio dépasse les 1 000.

Across all companies, the average CEO pay was $13.8 million per year, the average median worker pay was about $77,800, and the average ratio of CEO pay to median worker pay was 204. In other words, on average, CEOs earn around 204 times what his or her median worker earns.

The company with the highest ratio of CEO pay to median worker pay is Discovery Communications. CEO David M. Zaslav earned $156 million in 2014 while median worker pay, based on Glassdoor salary reports, was $80,000, for a pay ratio of 1,951. The second highest is Chipotle, where CEO Steve Ells earned $28.9 million while median worker pay was $19,000, for a pay ratio of 1,522. Rounding out the top five with the highest pay ratios are CVS Health (Larry J. Merlo, pay ratio of 1,192); Walmart (Douglas McMillon, pay ratio of 1,133), and Target (Brian C. Cornell, pay ratio of 939).

The lowest CEO pay ratio was zero at Fossil, whose CEO Kosta Kartsotis reported $0 compensation in 2014. As noted in Fossil’s SEC filing, “Mr. Kartsotis again refused all forms of compensation for fiscal 2014. Mr. Kartsotis is one of the initial investors in our company and expressed his belief that his primary compensation is met by continuing to drive stock price growth.”

The second and third lowest CEO pay ratios (also effectively zero) were at companies whose 2014 chief executive officers reported $1 salaries: Google (Larry Page) and Kinder Morgan (Richard D. Kinder). Rounding out the five with the lowest pay ratios are Symantec (Michael Brown, pay ratio of 3), Urban Outfitters (Richard A. Hayne, pay ratio of 3).
