Inland Northwest executive pay jumps again- -Spokane Journal of Business

[jtuck004]

For the second consecutive year, executive compensation at Inland Northwest-based publicly traded companies increased by double digits in 2011.

The 13.3 percent rise in average total compensation was lower than the 17.9 percent increase in 2010, but still well ahead of the 3.6 percent average annual growth in 2009, the Journal of Business' annual analysis of executive pay shows.

This year's analysis includes 75 executives from 15 publicly traded companies based in the Inland Northwest, using information those companies must disclose to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in their annual proxy statements.

If everyone could just become executives, this wouldn't be a problem...

Tax the Rich.
