In 1980, the median CEO pay was 33 times the average workers pay
In 1990, the median CEO pay was 55 times the average workers pay
In 1980, the median CEO pay was 33 times the average workers pay

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.
