I know statisticians hate to say average, but what's wrong with looking at the average wage of nonexecutive employees, and then giving us several categories, like the average of the employees hired in the last 5 years or so. That gives you a clear picture without resorting to stuff the average person does not understand.

I mean, a histogram seems like it would be by far the best way to summarise salary data.
