What The Other Guys Make
I haven’t seen the movie, but the end credits for The Other Guys—that Will Ferrel, Marky Mark Mark Whalberg cop film—feature some great looking info graphics that, if you haven’t already brushed the popcorn off your lap and headed to the door, might make you stop and think.
- Average ratio of Executive Pay to Employee Pay, 1914: 7:1. Today: 319:1.
- Average Execute Salary 1998: 2.3 Million. In 2005: 11.8 Million.
I’m not trying to foment a revolution of the working class here. But have executives become that much more valuable? Or the rest of us that much less so? Did your salary quintuple in 7 years? Most of all: does this make sense?
Can’t find an embeddable version, but check out the credit sequence here.
