The CEO pay went up an average of 11% (which when you are making millions, is very substantial) and for 1/3 of CEOs had a raise of 25% or above.
Meanwhile, the average workers found an increase of 4.1%, which, with inflation is a 2.4% decrease in wages and spending power.
On top of that, corporate profits were up 25%, which is far more than the rate of inflation at 7%.
So basically, CEOs are raising the prices and causing average people to have less buying power all to line their own pockets.
