The rise in January is mostly caused by a larger number of available € 100k+ positions. Despite a significant rise, the high point of 2013 (93 index points in October) is not yet in sight as the number of available € 100k+ candidates per month is simply too high compared to the number of new € 100k+ positions. A remarkable rise in the demand for commercial IT specialists has occurred in the past month (not evidenced by the graph).

Lintberg Index rises to 83 points

* The Lintberg Index is a monthly analysis of developments in the top 2% of the labour market. The index is a weighted index based on the number of running vacancies, the number of new vacancies, the positions advertising period and the total the number of application on €100K+ jobs in the Netherlands based on the input of the market leader Lintberg. A higher index indicates an improved labour market for professionals in the 100k+ segment.

The October rise can be largely credited to the significant increase in the number of newly published € 100k+ positions from the second week of the month onwards. The full month of October experienced a 30% rise of new positions when compared to September. The increase by far exceeded the number of applications (+4%) and resulted in the positive motion of the index graph.

As far as November is concerned the prospects are looking good but if the same number of new positions will be achieved, remains to be seen.

By Thomas Verbeeck, Managing Director Lintberg

The Lintberg Index, representing a candidate’s chances in the top segment of the labour market, increased by seven points in September, to reach a final score of 74 index points. This is the highest number since November of 2012. As can be seen in the graph the index follows a similar pattern as in 2012, with the peak in November.

The rise in September originates in a shorter recruitment period. The number of new published positions saw a 25% increase as opposed to August, which is typical for the after-holiday period. The number of new jobs posted at Lintberg is expected to be even higher in October.

The Lintberg Index indicates the monthly changing chances for candidates of finding a new position in the top of the labor market. The weighed index takes into calculation the number of outstanding job opportunities, newly published positions, the duration of the recruiting period and the total amount of applications for 100k+ positions, based on data provided by Lintberg.

Breaking down the top 10 in absolute value, Larry Ellison at Oracle takes the top spot with a staggering $94 million in total compensation, followed at respectable distance by Les Moonves ($58 million). Looking at percentual increase, Mark Parket at Nike saw his annual compensation increase by 167% to a value of nearly $34 million.

If one could speak of a ‘loser’ in this list of top earners, it would be Philippe Dauman at Viacom. Although still taking home $33 million, he saw that this was nearly a quarter less than what he had earned last year. Still, little need to feel sorry for him as this would still buy him 2000+ mid-sized family wagons.

The complete top 10, according to the Wall Street Journal:

1. Lawrence J. Ellison at Oracle – $94,612,064 (+24.5%)
2. Leslie Moonves at CBS – $58,843,439 (-15.1%)
3. Robert A. Iger at Walt Disney – $36,302,508 (+19.4%)
4. Mark G. Parker at Nike – $33,904,186 (+167.2%)
5. Philippe P. Dauman at Viacom – $33,126,741 (-22.6%)
6. John J. Donahue at eBay – $29,459,756 (+97.8%)
7. Omar Ishrak at Medtronic – $27,745,085 (n.a.)
8. Rex W. Tillerson at Exxon Mobil – $26,781,875 (+8.7%)
9. Kent J. Thiry at DaVita HealthCare – $26,300,394 (+54.2%)
10. Howard Schultz at Starbucks – $26,289,044 (+65.9%)

The Dutch East India Company in 1637 – $7,400,000,000,000

Established in 1602 in The Netherlands, the Dutch East India Company became the world’s first publicly traded company on the world’s first stock exchange. Originally starting out as a spice trader, it gained reputation for having the largest shipping fleet between Europe and Asia. In later years, the variety of goods shipped extended and the most profitable product turned out to be tulip bulbs. The so-called tulipmania, where investors drove up the price of a single tulip bulb to the price of house, skyrocketed the value of the EIC to tremendous heights, before coming down to a grinding halt as the bubble bursted. The present day equivalent of its 78 million Dutch guilders value amounts to a whopping $7.4 trillion dollars, earning the Dutch East India Company an unequalled #1 spot in our list.

The Mississippi Company in 1720 – $6,000,000,000,000

The Mississippi Company was established in 1684, to facilitate trade with the ‘New World’. In 1717, it became the ‘Company of the West’ and expanded into the ‘Company of the Indies’ in 1719. As with the #3, the Mississippi Company fell victim to self-inflicted share speculation in 1719. The owner of the company, John Law, exaggerated the wealth of Louisiana through a marketing scheme, leading to a run on company stock. After a year-long increase of wealth, the bubble burst in late 1720, when shareholders tried to convert their shares into hard coins.

The South Sea Company in 1720 – $4,000,000,000,000

Officially named The Governor and Company of the merchants of Great Britain, trading to the South Seas and other parts of America, and for the encouragement of fishing, the South Sea Company was created to reduce the cost of national debt by issuing shares. Through widespread rumors, which came about from within the company, the stock price inflated to surreal levels leading to a value £200 million, $4 trillion in today’s money.

Investors soon realized that the return on investment would not live up to the extreme expectations. After the rise the inevitable fall came along, resulting in many personal bankruptcies for people whom had bought shares on credit.
