It's bad news around the board room for poor, put-upon CEOs. Their median annual compensation fell a whopping 0.08 percent in 2008. Next time you pass one of the nearly destitute bastards shaking their tin cups out the windows of their limos, toss in a 5-spot. They need to cover their offsetting 73% salary increases somehow.It's bad news around the board room for poor, put-upon CEOs. Their median annual... more

It's being claimed that some 'beggars' we see on the streets are actually office workers who are topping up their incomes with as much as £200 a night in tax-free donations.

'Little Miss Sunshine' star Abigail Breslin makes around $2 million per movie and ranked eighth in Forbes magazine's list of "Young Hollywood's Top-Earning Stars," in 2007 - but she only gets $13 a week.
Despite being nominated for an Oscar, her parents keep her on a strict allowance. Breslin explains, ""I get $13 [a week] now, because I'm 13. My chores have gotten a little heavier. My brother used to always to feed the cat and now I feed the cat, which isn't a big deal, but it kind of is, because my cat eats tons. It's like an all-day long cycle." I'm sure that extra dollar is worth it though.'Little Miss Sunshine' star Abigail Breslin makes around $2 million per... more

"I was truly disheartened yesterday when I read that animators in Japan between the ages of 20 and 30 are paid roughly $11,600 (that’s about 1 million yen) per year. While animation is far more popular in Japan than it is in the US, it’s still a dying art form when you consider the popularity of computer animation. With such dismal pay, the amount of talented people who enter the animation field is only going to decrease as time goes on.
To make matters even worse, the pay doesn’t get much better when these animators enter their 30’s—most animators between the ages of 30 and 40 only make around $22,600 per year. Even senior animators don’t get a sizable increase in pay. There are senior animators in Japan who only make around $31,000 per year.
Thankfully, the Japan Animation Creators Association (JAniCA) is trying to do something about such miserable pay and questionable working conditions. After taking a survey of 700 animators and directors, JAniCA is planning to collaborate with production companies to improve the working conditions of staffers.
If these conditions don’t improve, the future of the anime industry is unsure. According to AnimeNewsNetwork, “the future of the anime industry is uncertain because the industry is not training enough young talent in the current working environment.”"I was truly disheartened yesterday when I read that animators in Japan between... more

A new bill aims to tackle discrimination against a range of groups including women, the elderly and those from lower social classes.
The Equality Bill will expose the gender pay gap, forcing many employers to reveal how much male staff are paid compared with their female colleagues. Despite the introduction of the Equal Pay Act 40 years ago, women in the UK still earn on average 23% less per hour than men.
The new bill will require companies employing at least 250 staff to publish their gender pay gaps by 2013. If too few have done so voluntarily, the government will use laws to make it happen.
The bill will also tackle social inequalities - ministers say the need for new measures is borne out by evidence showing that by the age of six, bright children from poor families are overtaken by less able children from wealthier homes and that people in deprived areas tend to suffer more from ill health - and age discrimination, the goal being to ban it completely.
Minister for Equality Harriet Harman pledged the bill would help to "narrow the gap between rich and poor and make Britain more equal".A new bill aims to tackle discrimination against a range of groups including women,... more

Even if you’re happy with your paycheck, your two X chromosomes may be shortchanging you, says Linda Babcock, Ph.D., coauthor of Ask For It. In a recent study, Babcock recruited volunteers to play Boggle, telling them they’d be paid $2 to $10 for their time. When it came time for payment, participants were offered $3. Men ask for more at eight times the rate of women! Follow Babcock’s negotiating tips to get paid what you deserve.

Let's face it, most of us wouldn't complain if we're offered a raise. Used to be, you could expect at least a cost of living raise once a year. But these days, that's not necessarily a given.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the average cost of living was in the U.S. grew by 4.1 percent in all of 2007. But average wage growth was 3.4 percent, according to CBsalary.com. This year, the BLS reports the cost per living has already grown 5.5 percent. These numbers, unfortunately, are troubling to the average worker.
So where do you have a better chance of earning a raise that at least matches the cost of living increase? And where is salary growth seriously lagging? We looked at top 200 metropolitan statistical areas in the United States and identified the 20 cities with the fastest wage growth and 20 cities with the slowest.
The results varied even within individual states. While wage growth in College Station and Waco, Texas grew at a healthy clip in 2007, development in its fellow Texan cities of Amarillo, Tyler and Victoria was sluggish. California had three cities among the 20 with the speediest growth. The Northwest (Idaho and Wyoming) and Southeast (Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas) regions had solid growth as well.
Here are the cities (among the country's top 200 MSAs) that had the fastest and slowest wage growth last year.
