CEO COMPENSATION RESOURCES

Learn more about executive compensation and see some actual dollar figures at these Web sites.

ECOMP EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DATABASE
Search by company, ticker, state, sector or industry. Some sample surveys are focused on Long Island companies, but the search feature finds execs and companies in all states. Lots of companies turned up when I searched on my state name, with recent salary and bonus figures for the top officers in each company. Full titles of the officers are included. Lots of good prospecting possibilities here.

AFL-CIO EXECUTIVE PAYWATCH
The link below takes you straight to the CEO Compensation Index by Company. Find eight pages, single-spaced, of links to companies and their CEOs' pay data. If you want to test your blood pressure, see how their salaries compare to yours and other workers' earnings. Check the pull-down menu for How to Track Down Executive Pay.
