The Bureau of Labor Statistics has the real numbers on CEO pay. No, the average CEO in the United States doesn't make $20 million a year or make 300 times what an average worker makes. Not even close. The median salary for a CEO in the United States is $173,320 according to May 2014 data. Just a reminder when Hillary, the AFL-CIO, and others socialists tell you otherwise. Few CEO's make what the top 100 CEO's make in the S&P 500. After all , there are 246,240 CEO's in the data set. No word yet on this story from wealthy speech maker/professor Robert Reich.
