Because their skills are in higher demand and the supply of them is lower.

But that does not mean that an engineer's contribution is inherently greater than that of a secretary based on nothing but their job title.

Meanwhile I've seen and heard of plenty of personal assistants (nobody uses the term secretary any more) share in the upside of the company through substantial annual bonuses. Often these come directly from their boss's personal funds. A great PA, and a great person in any position, will make everyone's life better, and help the people on the front line perform to their capability.
