mostra másWe discuss how CEOs and their corporate structures are driving Income Inequality.
The growth of income inequality is largely a result of a CEO compensation system where pay is determined by the value of stock. It is an incentive system that extracts wealth from a company as opposed doing the things that makes a company stronger for the future – capital investment, research and development, and maintaining a skilled workforce by paying good wages and benefits to those delivering the company’s service and/or products.
From 1978 to 2013, CEO compensation, inflation-adjusted, increased 937 percent, a rise more than double stock market growth. This is also substantially greater than the 10.2 percent growth in a typical worker’s compensation over the same period. (EPI study: http://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-pay-continues-to-rise/)
