Analysis by Institute for Policy Studies found that between 2019 and 2025, CEO compensation increased 41.4%

The average CEO of the US’s 100 largest, lowest-paying corporations earned 614 times more than their average worker last year, according to an analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS).

IPS’s latest executive excess report analyzed compensation at the 100 S&P 500 corporations with the lowest median worker pay. Between 2019 and 2025, CEO compensation increased 41.4%, unadjusted for inflation, twice as much as the median worker pay increased at these firms during the same period, at 20.7%.

The CEO-to-worker pay ratio at the low-wage 100 firms increased 8.4% between 2019 and 2025.

      as if they were trying to say that the people in the articles are billionaires. That’s illusionary. There’s a full stop.

      This

      will never be reasonable that some people make hundreds of times what other make on a full time job.

      Was the point. That some are only millionaires is irrelevant. Billionaire is a subtype of “too rich” used as an example.

      No fundamental facts are in error.
