From the New York Times an interactive graphic which allows you to look up the CEO pay in 2007 and compare it to the change in their company’s stock price (by Vu Nguyen, Kurl Russell, Tom Jackson). I took screenshots for 4 tech CEOs: Oracle, Microsoft, Google, and Apple. Size of the orange circle is the CEO’s compensation. Keep in mind this does not include the increase value of stock options they currently own.

NYTimes: More Than Ever, It Pays to Be the Top Executive

by Catherine Mulbrandon

in Other

The New York Times had a graph on executive income for the article More Than Ever, It Pays to Be the Top Executive that shows the growing income gap between chief executives and their top subordinates. The article goes on to mention this “winner take all” behavior can be found in other industries like sports and entertainment. You can see more examples of this in the following graphs:

Highest Paid CEOs
Highest Paid CEOs vs Hedge Fund Managers
US Income Distribution
Highest Paid Athletes
Highest Paid Celebrities
Income/GDP Ratio
Income share going to the top 5%

2005 US Income Distribution part 3

by Catherine Mulbrandon

in Distribution of Income, VE Infographics

I went back to my 2005 US Income Distribution graph but this time I looked at the income of everyone above $250,000. Although one can find lists of high income earners it is very difficult to find a graph plotting their earnings as compared to everyone else. The scale of the graph is so extreme that most of the population ends up looking like a dot at the bottom of the graph.

Below I have created 3 graphs that try to show the relationship between the bottom 99.99% and the top 0.01%.

2005 Income Distribution Less than 5 million magnifying glass

2005 Income Distribution Less than 1 billion magnifying glass

The original Census data can be found at Table HINC-06. Income Distribution to $250,000 or More for Households

The bottom 99.99% I estimated from data found at Emmanuel Saez’s web site

The CEO and Celebrity income estimates came from Forbes magazine

And finally the income for the top hedge fund managers was first published at Alpha magazine but I found it via the New York Times
