Line chart with two lines of CEO-to-worker compensation ratio over the past few decades.
Note: CEOs of the 350 biggest US firms that are publicly owned. The authors of the analysis write that worker compensation is "the average annual compensation (wages and benefits of a full-time, full-year worker) of production/nonsupervisory workers in the industries that the top 350 firms operate in." The authors of the report write that "realized" "counts stock awards when vested and stock options when cashed in and ownership is taken," while "granted" "counts the value of stock awards and options when announced."
