If you exclude Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, the CEO-worker pay gap in America stands at an already obscene 312 to 1. With Musk’s $158 billion payday, the gap rises to an astonishing 5,387 to 1.

In 1980, the average major corporate CEO earned just 42 times as much as the average U.S. worker. In 2025, according to new AFL-CIO Paywatch data, S&P 500 firm CEOs pocketed 312 times as much as average workers.

New @aflcio.org Paywatch data shows that S&P 500 CEOs were paid 312 times as much as average workers in 2025. This figure excludes Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $158 billion pay package. Including Musk, the CEO-to-worker pay gap jumps to an off-the-charts 5,387-to-1.
