Silicon Valley tried to settle away a $9 billion wage-fixing lawsuit, which alleges that companies including Apple and Google colluded to suppress employee wages. But a federal judge nixed the paltry $324.5 million pay out, saying it was not enough. Now the companies behind the conspiracy are appealing, insisting the lowball figure is adequate.

Tech is already known for having some of the highest wages of any American industry. But they continue climbing to new heights. Just south of San Francisco, in San Mateo county, home of Menlo Park and Redwood City, the average tech worker earned $291,497 in 2013.

After a protracted legal battle, Reuters reports Apple, Google, Intel, and Adobe will settle a lawsuit claiming they conspired to pay their employees far less than they deserved. These companies got a very good deal.

Postmates, a well-funded delivery startup premised on your inability to get out of bed, does not pay its couriers well. But according to one current employee, the company is at least admitting the money isn't that great.

Workers in Silicon Valley "bring almost double the amount of money that their counterparts nationwide earn each week," according to new federal data.
