No surprise that there is a gap between CEO pay and people who earn the minimum wage. But, the gap still is pretty staggering to see, per the Economic Policy Institute: "CEO pay-to-minimum wage ratio soars In 2005, an average Chief Executive Officer (CEO) was paid 821 times as much as a minimum wage earner, who earns just $5.15 per hour. An average CEO earns more before lunchtime on the very first day of work in the year than a minimum wage worker earns all year."
Check out the graph that should be burned as a tattoo on the chest of every member of the Senate who voted against the minimum wage increase.
