Is it true that CEO compensation has grown faster than average worker pay?
Yes. A reference overview states that since the 1990s US CEO compensation has outpaced the average compensation of all workers, and a textbook-derived discussion notes the CEO-to-average-worker pay ratio has risen sharply since the 1970s. Other items document rapid CEO pay growth but do not compare it to worker pay.
