"According to a new Guardian report, CEO pay rose dramatically in 2025, increasing about 20 times faster than worker wages, highlighting growing income inequality. While executive compensation surged, real wages for workers declined by 12% since 2019 when adjusted for inflation. The wealth of billionaires also reached record highs, further widening the gap between top earners and average workers."

"The analysis also found billionaires were paid $2,500 a second in dividends in 2025, according to the investment portfolios of more than 1,000 billionaires. For every two hours in the 2025, the average billionaire received more in dividends than the average worker earned in annual pay." ~ Michael Sainato #MayDay #EconomicElites #billionaires #workers #economy /2 https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/may/01/ceo-pay-workers-minimum-wages
