Company Pay Ratios
High CEO-to-worker pay ratios contribute to economic inequality and can undermine employee morale and productivity. While the disclosure requirements for how companies treat their workers are limited, publicly traded companies have been required to disclose their median employee-to-CEO pay ratios since 2018. In 2023, the average CEO-to-worker pay ratio for S&P 500 companies was 268-to-1.
