Keep in mind that those numbers are for the absolute top tech companies even in the US (and by extension, the world). Even in the PPE top 10, the last one Texas Instruments is ~40k less than the number 5. It would be actually very, very interesting to see the PPE information for a more comprehensive set of companies in the US and EU tech sectors. Or maybe it's me out of the loop and the six figure salaries are the norm in the US even outside the most profitable companies in the world? Edit: welp, of course the data was linked in the article: https://tipalti.com/profit-per-employee/ https://tipalti.com/profit-per-employee/ Just picking companies randomly a little lower from the list, Qualcomm is 118k, Oracle 81k, Advanced Micro Devices 30k.
