if you're talking all 500, then that's more than one CEO.
your math is off.
No. I'm not going in two directions, this is EXACTLY how to quantify this bullshit issue you guys think is such a big part of the problem. I mean, I assume you guys aren't actually trying to argue 1 CEO's salary is why tens of millions of people's wages have stagnated.
500 Fortune 500 CEO's making an AVERAGE of $13.5M....
so divide $6.75B = the TOTAL comp paid to those 500 CEO's
by 27M = the TOTAL number of people employed by those 500 companies
Now tell me what number your "math" gives you.
