Reading the Personal Services CEO Pay Landscape (SIC 72, FY2023)

The Personal Services industry, classified under 2-digit SIC code 72, had 5 SEC-reporting public companies disclose CEO pay ratio data in fiscal year 2023. Across that set of firms, the median CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 160:1 and the average was 282:1. Median CEO total compensation in the sector was $8.9M, with the sector-wide average at $7.6M. These figures are aggregated from DEF 14A proxy statements filed under Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires every U.S.-listed reporting company to compare its CEO's total compensation against a representative median employee.

Pay dispersion inside this industry is substantial. The 25th percentile CEO in Personal Services earned $4.1M, while the 75th percentile CEO earned $9.9M - a spread that shows how firm size, equity-heavy compensation packages, and performance-linked incentives can drive very different outcomes even among peers sharing the same SIC code. The gap between the 282:1 average and the 160:1 median is wide, which almost always signals that a small number of very-high-pay CEOs are pulling the mean upward; the median is the fairer yardstick for "a typical company in this sector."
