An annual report carried out by Barcelona business school Eada and the consultant ICSA indicates that the salary gap is getting bigger. While directors saw their remuneration rise by 6.9% in 2013, middle managers suffered a fall of 3.8% and workers a drop of 0.4%. The figures, based on 80,000 interviews, show that the average salary of directors has been on the rise in spite of the crisis, with the exception of 2009. The average annual gross salary of this group rose from 68,705 to 80,330 euro in 2013.
