Largest US Technology Companies 2020 Median of the Medians Total Employee Compensation Was $96,300 and the Average of the Medians Total Employee Compensation Was $108,800

From a review of US SEC filings and the Google Finance website, there are 157 US High Technology Companies with Stock Market Caps above $10 bil recently that disclosed their Median Employee Total Pay and Employee Benefits Compensation for 2020.

From Company Proxy Statements filed with the SEC, the below table shows the Median Total Employee Pay and Benefits of each of these 157 largest Technology Companies for annual 2020.  The majority of these Companies have not yet filed their Annual Proxy Statements with the SEC related to annual 2021 Employee Compensation.


There were 28 High Technology Companies that I found with stock market caps above $10 bil recently that got an exemption from disclosing their mean employee pay information to the SEC due to US legislation bipartison passage.  Blocking critical information from the general public and from investors is outrageous.  

As an investor, I view a fair pay policy as a key trait of a Company that I wish to invest in.  And I try to avoid investing in Companies that pay their employees poorly.

Below is a list of these 28 Companies where I have no clue as to whether they are paying their employees fairly.
