Highest-paying occupations in the private sector

February 8, 2008

It pays to be the boss.

Chief executive officers earn substantially more money than anyone else in the private sector, according to a new bizjournals analysis of more than 300 occupations.

The typical CEO makes $240,903 per year, based on salary data collected from U.S. companies between December 2005 and January 2007. That translates to $4,633 per week or $103.76 per hour of work.
