CEO Salaries Have Spiked 940 Percent Since the 1970s
Chances are, if your boss is the CEO of one of 350 top public corporations, he or she is making nearly 10 times what you are.

CEOs, according to the study, made, on average, $17.2 million last year.
Putting it into perspective, in 1965, the average CEO-to-average worker salary was 16 to 1.; by 1989, it was 45 to 1.
