Make sure you restrict to major cities. That affects comp. Also I suspect those forms show base pay not total comp which is typically far higher.

Not sure about the legal reporting requirements, but since my wife works at one of them I can tell you first-hand that they don't get much on top of their base salary. Non-profits are 80%+ salary compensation, even at the highest levels.

Also, engineering societies generally are based in major cities.
