The recent tight labor market is forcing companies to pay top dollar for new recruits. Salaries consequently increase faster in the market than they do within a company. As a result, an employee of several years may be sitting next to a new employee who earns 10 to 20 percent more and performs the same job. This condition is known as salary compression.

Do you believe this happens and the companies feel this is fair, I personally think it is a bunch of hooey, how can they view or rewards for loyalty sure fall short of expectation of the longer you are there, the less you make. I don't think this is fair at all.
