Company Pay Ratios
Publicly traded companies are required to disclose the pay ratio between their chief executive officers and median employees. High CEO-to-worker pay ratios contribute to economic inequality and can undermine employee morale and productivity. The average S&P 500 company’s CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 272-to-1 in 2022.
