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 Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says the average CEO at a top publicly traded company would have made as much money as the average Canadian worker will make all year as of 10:09 this morning.
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."
