In 2019 the median pay for a worker at this company was US$68,441. The CEO was paid 137 times this amount. Exorbitant CEO pay is a major contributor to rising inequality. CEOs are getting more because of their power to set pay, not because they are increasing productivity or possess specific, high-demand skills.
