CEO Salaries Rose 2% in 2011, Says Study - News - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas

CEO Salaries Rose 2% in 2011, Says Study - News - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: Pay for nonprofit chief executives continued to inch upward in 2011, after years of holding steady during the downturn, according to a new study of pay at 95,000 organizations.

The median increase for all chief executives was 2 percent in 2011, compared with 1.6 percent in 2010. But that uptick, which barely kept pace with inflation, still represents a more sluggish pace of growth than the typical 4- to 6-percent increases nonprofit leaders typically received before the recession hit in 2008.
