The average CEO in America doesn&#x27;t make 300x more than the average employee. That&#x27;s nothing more than bad propaganda.<p>The top several dozen CEOs in the S&amp;P 500 or Fortune 500 are solely responsible for causing that claim, by dramatically swaying the average (and only within the top corporations).<p>Not only is the median much lower among that group, but the average American CEO only makes single digits times what the average employee does. The average CEO is not running a top 50 corporation, they&#x27;re running a small business with less than 50 to 100 employees.
