Thanks to the introduction of new payroll transparency laws across the country, it’s now easier to see how much some of the world’s biggest tech companies are paying.

California’s wage range law is particularly noteworthy. California has 19 million workers and over 20% of his Fortune 500 companies live here, especially his tech giants like Apple, Google and Meta.
