each title by ethnicity. <em>(See Chart 1.1 on next page.)<\/em> The figures shaded in green represent the <b>highest <\/b>average annual compensation for a given job title; the figures shaded in red represent the <b>lowest<\/b> average annual compensation for a given job title.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the key findings:<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Asian\/Pacific Islanders command the <b>highest<\/b>
