First, the good news. The ratio of CEO pay to that of a typical worker has fallen below its astronomical high of 376-to-1 from 2000. But the current ratio is still more than 300-to-1. The figure was 20-to-1 in 1965, and even as recently as 1978, it was less than 30-to-1. Over the past decade, however, as a report from the Economic Policy Institute shows, the wages of most workers have stagnated or even declined as chief executives have enjoyed extraordinary pay increases.
