From 1979 to 2020, net worker productivity rose 61.8%, but workers’ wages only rose 17.5%. Meanwhile,CEO pay skyrocketed by more than 1,209%–over 18 times the productivity growth. CEOs are earning 399 times the median worker’s pay–the highest disparity in 50 years.

The disparities don’t just increase economic inequality; they pose a dangerous threat to democracy. Their outsized influence has led to a two-tiered system of government where the wealthy dictate policy while everyday workers are shafted. If a political donor calls a member of Congress, their offices are almost four times more likely to make room in their schedule for them than they are with a regular constituent.

U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Representatives Barbara Lee and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have introduced the Curtailing Executive Overcompensation (CEO) Act, which would apply an excise tax on public and private companies that have at least a 50-to-1 CEO-to-median-worker pay disparity.

Workers' wages are stagnating while we’re dealing with inflation driven by corporate greed. It is shameful to see corporate executives get richer while workers struggle. We must curtail exorbitant pay disparities between CEOs and workers.
