CEO Compensation Increased 940% Between 1978 and 2018, Workers’ Only by 12%

Its fun to watch Trumpers do wealth worship while complaining about how rigged the system is....

The guy making $400 K at Lockheed Martin still has to drive through the same bad neighborhoods
and chuckhole-filled roads to shop at the same stores we do. Except all he cares about is retiring at 50 with enough saved to buy 20 acres in New Zealand and leave this country to deal with the enemy refugees and homeless vets he helped create with his war profits.

Inequality is slowing US economic growth: Faster wage growth for low- and middle-wage workers is the solution
What this report finds: Income inequality in the United States is suppressing growth in aggregate demand (spending by households, businesses, and governments) by shifting an ever larger share of income to rich households that save rather than spend. This rise in inequality has been overwhelmingly driven by the failure of pay for typical American workers to keep pace with economy-wide productivity growth. EPI estimates that rising inequality has slowed growth in aggregate demand by 2 to 4 percentage points of GDP annually in recent years.

And that means what?

Isn't it cute to worship the same class of folks you simultaneously claim are rigging the system?

...and then there are people who don't make 400K annually, who don't have a plan of retiring outside of the country -- these people just love to worship the wealthy at their own expense...as long as they can point the finger at the "others" (usually brown people) and be comforted by the belief that "they" are better than "them"

I'm blaming them for workers wages not keeping up with rises in productivity.

My concern is not some sort of relative comparison between workers and CEOs, but a desire for a better outcome for American workers, ie higher wages.

Rises in productivity are the result of companies investing in automation not that the worker is "producing" more.

I don't think Trump refers to them as losers, he refers to them as his base.....

So are you claiming that worker productivity did not increase over the past 40 years??

 

[Markle]

Yes he can run in his record of drastically increasing deficits. Or maybe slowing the economy, farmers love his trade war. Stagnant market? So much to run on.

Yep! As you know too!

Does Higher CEO Pay Produce Better Company Performance?

CEO pay has risen tremendously over the past few decades with most chief executives at large public companies earning well into the eight figures. While analysts say high compensation is justified for executives who increase shareholder value, some research says those big paychecks don’t always result in a high share price.

A report by MSCI sampled 429 large-cap U.S. companies between 2006 and 2015. It found that during that time, shareholder returns of those companies whose total pay was below their sector median outperformed those companies where pay exceeded the sector median by as much as 39%.

Remember 30 years ago there were no billionaires ( a handful around the world). Go back and watch Oliver Stone's movie Wall Street- it's more of a financial documentary than a Hollywood film. Multi-millionaire ( $50 - $100 million) was a big deal back then. Do you remember what the minimum wage was ? $3.35 an hour ( 40 hours for 52 weeks no vacation is about $7000 a year)

That is a big reason there are thousands of billionaires now and everyone else is in debt.

And that means what?

It means Americans let ourselves get screwed over the past 4 decades
and we're basically just now realizing it.... OWS, Bernie's 'political revolution'....these are signs of a sleeping giant awakening.

Funny and sad at the same time.

Thanks to former President Bill Clinton.

Bill is overpaying bad ceos for poor performance? I had no idea.

Wall Street is a great movie. The Wall Street 2 dvd has a good director's cut narrated by Oliver Stone. The sleeping giant sounds like a Noam Chomsky reference from his book about hegemony.
