![CEO Pay Continues to Rise as Typical Workers Are Paid Less](/summary-img/22485-J5C8K8QW.jpg?h=M&b=0)
Recommendation
The large and growing gap between America’s middle class and its top earners is no longer news. Chief executive officers’ pay, in particular, has risen far faster than that of other employees, including high earners. Economists Lawrence Mishel and Alyssa Davis illustrate in raw numbers how CEOs are getting a disproportionate share of the wage pie and what the broader impact on society might be. getAbstract recommends their report to shareholders, investors and especially board members who decide on executive compensation.
