EDIT:  A comment posted has indicated this chart is not correct.  You can find the link in the comment.  The person who made the chart may have exaggerated a bit…looks like in 2010, CEO pay was 325 to 1.

    Well, aren’t U.S. based CEOs at least 475 times more intelligent and organized sufficiently to have obtained trilliions of dollars of subsidies to be payed by present and future working class labor.through higher overall taxes, greater austeriity and labor intensity.

    In the same vein, this process began decades ago and labor unioms, rather than countering through internationalizing, began their process of breakdown, largly because most union bosses had partnered with upper executives..

    Furthermore tne confluence of major political parties

    Oh, if having spent one-half hour/day learning about inverse funds, futures, options and commodities rather than long only positions, many employees would have gained quite a bit over the last decade. Equally, maintining understating of housing unaffordability ratios would have mitigated, not prevented, the house price bubble.

    Here we have tremendous long run free info available yet generally ignored, even by the major rating agencies and hedgies dependent upon gaussian copula centered models and CDS.

    If not ignorance perhaps intent.

    Hi Courtney,

    Thanks for the information. Looks like you’re right. CEO pay is only 325 to 1 now. That’s better. But still way off track from what it should trend if it followed the same pace as worker pay increase.

    From your link:

    Meanwhile, the most recent ratio from the Institute for Policy Studies is also smaller — for 2010, it was 325 to 1. In previous years the ratio on two occasions has exceeded 475 to 1 — to be specific, 516 to 1 in 1999 and 525 to 1 in 2000.
