The salaries of Apple employees were a source of speculation for many of those who sought a job within the American company, and this summer I have presented you with a list of the amounts won by the people contracted by those from Cupertino.
The list of Apple employee salaries presented last summer has been updated recently by a company specialized in analyzing the amounts of money earned by the employees of large companies around the globe and it should give us a much more accurate picture of what is happening in Cupertino. Based on the new list, you will notice that a good part of the salaries are higher than reported last summer, Apple employees earning more money than many people expected.
Considering the competition on the market, it was important that the salaries of Apple employees be at least equivalent to what competing companies such as Google, Samsung, Microsoft or others offer, and Apple ensured to a good extent of this. Although Apple boasts of high salaries for its employees, this is only valid for those who work in Cupertino, or in other office buildings, because employees in Apple Stores are among the most disadvantaged.
Salaries of Apple employees worldwide
According to the information obtained by various analysts from around the world, Apple employees in App Stores have lower salaries than those of competing companies and they have repeatedly made known their dissatisfaction with this fact. Apple employees have organized strikes and picketed Apple Stores to get pay commensurate with the work they put in, but this did not help them convince Tim Cook that it is not enough to talk about equality.
Tim Cook claims in various interviews that employees all over the world must be treated equally and paid correctly, but Apple fails to do the same with its own people employed in stores, so the numbers below will probably change in the not too distant future. In the list below, the salaries of Apple employees are represented at their annual value.
