Survey: Business people prefer divine counsel over spouse’s

Executives need employees: In 2001, the average chief executive's pay was more than $11 million […] Two decades ago, chief executive officers in America were paid about 40 times more than the average hourly employee. Now they make more than 500 times […]. Last year the CEO of my company made 592 times more than I did. I wonder if that makes me underpaid or the CEO overpaid. […] But I wonder if corporate executives appreciate the role workers play in their success. Free enterprise is a system of risks and rewards. As it now stands, employees suffer most of the risks while executives enjoy most of the rewards.
