“The description in the GMB survey is “Directors and chief executives of major organisations,” so I think we can assume McDonald’s store managers are out of the running. I can’t find it now, but I ran across a Business Week with a chart comparing US CEO compensation with that of other developed countries. The average was, I think, 3x.”

The actual average is now 4.5x

The wage gaps found in Australia are even worse. Seriously. Women are like second class citizens. Interesting read. Thanks

Skip Hire: again, I refer you to this survey. The very first item is "Directors and chief executives of major organisations". Beneath the pay tables you will find this comment:

This comprehensive analysis by GMB of the average annual gross earnings of all 342 occupational groups in Great Britain shows that the average pay of the highest earning group, directors and chief executives, at £162,028 is 16 times higher than the lowest group, leisure and theme park attendants, on £10,400.

Is there anything unclear about that?

That is a different survey. Here's the one I'm taking from, which specifies directors and chief executives. Here's the one you're looking at, which includes chief executives and a whole bunch of other classifications, including government jobs.
