Reno, Nevada Moving & Storage Company AMERCO (U-Haul) Top-Tier Executives Average Pay Raise Was an Exceptionally Clean, Very Reasonable 3.3% Per Year During the Past Ten Years (March 2010-March 2019). It Appears That AMERCO Isn't Into Grade Inflation of the Actual Performance of Its Top-Tier Executives, Unlike So Many Other Large Companies Are

The key issue to Nevada citizens should be the huge and continuing Income Inequality Expansion which is at the core of many critical problems the US faces.

Thus I will be doing research and making posts on the average pay raise per year that the Top-Tier Executives of Nevada Companies were rewarded with in the past ten years.

The 15th Nevada Company I am addressing here is AMERCO.  

From annual compensation information contained in Company Proxy Statement filings with the SEC, the chart at the bottom below shows AMERCO's Top-Tier Executives Annual Total Compensation for each of two consecutive full years of employment for the past ten years. 

AMERCO's Top-Tier Executives Average Pay Raise was an exceptionally clean, very reasonable 3.3% per year for the last ten years, which is the very lowest of the 15 large Nevada Companies that I have addressed so far.


  1. Eldorado Resorts +58.5% per year for the past six years
  2. Caesars Entertainment +38.8% per year for the past five years
  3. Allegiant Travel +38.0% per year for the past ten years
  4. Ormat Technologies +34.3% per year for the past five years
  5. Pinnacle Entertainment +30.0% per year for nine years
