For context, this research paper was also pre-pandemic.

On average, CEO salaries jumped about 30% since this research was released. Here is an updated article by the EPI EPI Research

Also for context - on 1965, average CEO-to-worker salary ratio was 20:1, and in 1985 it was 59:1.

Not it's almost 400:1.
