Ah, but what's the catch, you say? Well, you've gotta be a CEO of a company (yes, Ryan, a company with employees and a product or revenue stream to show off to investors, damned nitpicker).
U.S. CEOs Who Outsource Get Bigger Pay Hike
CEO's make an average of 301 times the $26,899 earned by an average production worker. That used to be 42 times the average worker's income back in 1982.
Holy christ, Larry Ellison got a nice raise, not a decent 10% or anything reasonable like that though. Try a 103,974% (yes, percent) raise.
Forrester (and they're a really big and really impressive research company that KNOWS THESE THINGS! even if they do use alot of secondhand research) says that more than 3 million services jobs will side offshore by 2015, lots of those white collar, high tech or call center jobs going to India where we recently had a project done for a 20th the cost of the high US bid.
If minimum wage had risen as quickly as the average CEO's pay since 1990, it'd be $15.76, not $5.15. And then, of course, our entire economy would be out of fucking control because you can't have McJob's making $32K a year unless you charge $6 for a small fries and then employers must demand more and the whole universe spirals out of control and into a black hole.
And in that black hole, CEO's will still make far, far, far more than they are worth. Especially the rat fuck bastards that auger in companies and then bail with $300 million severance packages made up of pension funds and misbegotten life savings.
