I find the notion that the size of the company has such an effect to be interesting. I have experienced both ends of this, working for large companies and working for smaller ones, and from my experience, the range varies dramatically depending on the company, what they are doing, and how profitable they are. I have worked for conservative small companies that paid a respectable salary, and I've worked for other smaller companies that have paid considerably more. the fact that 60% of low earners are in smaller companies on the surface seems logical, but my own experiences show that there's more to the story than just company size.
