I don't subscribe. Can anyone tell me if they report a SD or SEM? The total number in the two groups is very different, so I wanted to do a quick t-test to see if it was even statistically significant.

Also just realized they are reporting a median, not a mean. That would be impacted quite a bit more by the smaller population of female CEO's compared to male counterparts. Also curious what the mean of each is.

Why would any large public company pay a woman running the show less than a man that they replaced?  For these companies, isn't this all  public information?

That's just the way those anti-Trump lefties roll.

I'm not so sure the individual salaries of people for incorporated businesses are public. FOIA for example limits your ability to get information on individuals unless there's a public compelling reason, which is rare. So my guess is you're limited to financial statements which include assets, liabilities, capital/equity, and expenses (including taxes and how much they pay in general for salary expenses), but not individual salaries.

Public companies with stock , not incorporated
