From 1978–2023, top CEO compensation shot up 1,085%, compared with a 24% increase in a typical worker’s compensation. In 2023, CEOs were paid 290 times as much as a typical worker—in contrast to 1965, when they were paid 21 times as much as a typical worker. That CEOs were paid nearly 10 times as much as the top 0.1% of U.S. wage earners in 2022 illustrates just how distorted CEO pay increases have become.

I actually heard this argument when we questioned the CEO’s huge raise.

I like the big logo. What’s it stand for: “CrapCo”?

I find it difficult to understand how what many of those top executives actually do justifies what they are being paid.
