USA restaurant
and retail workers are pushing for a national minimum wage of $15 an
hour, but some CEOs in the industry have pay packages
worth $9,000 an hour or more.
It would take
an employee earning $15 an hour nearly 23 days to earn as much as the
median CEOs in these industries do in one hour.
The average CEO
in the Standard & Poor's 500 earned 204 times more than the median
employee at the same companies did in 2014, according to an analysis by
job information service Glassdoor.com.
Starting next year the Security and
Exchange Commission will begin requiring companies to disclose this gap between CEO and
worker pay.
