Wages for the median workers at the majority of big American companies are higher than they were before the pandemic, with the tight job market helping to lift paydays for many bank tellers, factory workers and software programmers.

Compensation in 2021 for the median worker at 275 companies in the S&P 500 index was higher than in 2019, including 150 companies where it increased 10% or more from 2019, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Half as many firms reported their median worker’s 2021 compensation decreased by 10% or more.

More than 140 companies, including Netflix Inc. and steelmaker Nucor Corp. , said their median worker was paid at least $100,000 last year. Over three dozen companies, including Walmart Inc. and Home Depot Inc., said their median worker made less than $30,000 in 2021.
