CEOs made 227 times more than the average worker made in 2018, the biggest gap on record
OTTAWA — A new report says Canada’s 100 highest-paid chief executives were paid record amounts in 2018 in comparison to the employees beneath them.
The centre says those CEOs made 227 times more than the average worker made in 2018, the most recent year figures are available. That’s up from 197 times average worker pay in 2017, and is the earliest time on record in the 13 years the centre has been tracking the numbers. “Wealth continues to concentrate at the very top while average incomes barely keep up with inflation.”
