In today’s world, consumers are more aware of the products they buy and the companies they support than ever. People who pay attention to the details of what they consume want to know what kind of impact their business has on the world. This infographic from Madison Trust Company offers a valuable look into a hot button issue: CEO to worker pay ratios.
The team shows us the ratio between the CEO salary and the average worker’s salary at some of America's top companies. We can see a huge difference between the biggest gaps and the smallest. According to the team, these ten companies had the highest ratio wage gap:
- Ross Stores, Inc.
- Coca Cola Co.
- Charter Communications, Inc.
- Aptiv PLC
- Accenture PLC
- Tjx Companies Inc.
- Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.
- Align Technology Inc.
- ON Semiconductor Corp.
- McDonald’s Corp.
Critics say that higher wage gaps are a result of greed and can lead to worker exploitation. When a company is so profitable, it’s difficult to justify why everyone shouldn’t be fairly compensated for their role in its success.
