The pay gap between executives and their employees has widened from 2024 to 2025, with chief executives making 312 times what their median worker earned, according to the AFL-CIO, the largest coalition of labour unions in the United States.
That’s up from the previous rate of 285 times the median worker salary for executives working in the companies listed on the S&P 500 index.
No one can ever convince me it’s more efficient paying someone $200k instead of two people $100k to get a thing done.
only works if so few people know how to do something they can command the 200 and an extra person would contribute nothing.
