While you can easily find sources that provide statistics that conflict with these numbers, you would be hard pressed to find any credible source that refutes the idea that the rate of pay of CEO’s and other upper-level managers has not dramatically increased relative to an organization’s lower-level employees in just about any 10 or more year period over the past 60 years. In the world of Adam Smith, the “invisible hand” of the free market capitalistic model would address inequities/out of balances. Are the forces represented by the “invisible hand” working?
