Ah ha. They old "cherry picking" calculations. You pick the 100 top paid CEO's and the gap is YUGE. Add in ALL CEOs and..............BOING! Not so much. Kinda like some of the highest paid entertainers bitching about min wage while they rake in $100 million. Say, moochies besty "bey" and her clothing line made by people in foreign lands at some absurd wage.

Unions really never grasped the concept of supply and demand.

They should break things down into smaller demographics and compare today vs 30 years ago. Things look a lot different if you compare

* union worker vs CEOs
* middle class vs CEOs
* single mothers vs CEOs
* high school drop outs vs CEOs

The “wage gap” for most of these groups isn’t much different than 30 years ago (at least in some studies). What is different is that we have a lot more of the population in the low-income groups.

If Ds really want to “fix the wage gap” they may want to start by focusing on the size the low-income groups that have grown (e.g. single mothers).

Of course they don’t want to fix it or they’d lose a campaign issue. The more money their friends (CEOs) make the more those friends can donate and the more they can push the “wage gap” issue.

These self-serving fascists would have us believe that the minimum wage earner should have their paychecks increased by taking it from the CEO salary.
