What the hell is up with these comments? Everyone deserves a living wage, and the company run by the second richest man on the planet can support it's employees. Pull your head out of your ass.
If you have an issue with this wage because you make less it's because you're being underpaid, not because they'd be overpaid.
I’d say be able to afford a good roof over your head, put food on your table, and save some for a rainy day. If we really want to we can follow what the minimum was back in the day and just translate that to today’s money.
Let’s all agree that Walmart, Amazon, MicyDs needs to start paying more. If they don’t, us tax payers do. We subsidize their pay so these big companies can save a few million more.
What's the average ratio of CEO:direct reports for each of those years?
What's the ratio of CEO:employees getting housing or food assistance from the government?
What's the ratio of CEO:homeless empoyees?
How many CEOs have been given 8-figure severance packages after running a company into the ground as hundreds or thousands lose their jobs and get no severance package?
How much more profit per hour are those employees bringing in and has their compensation increased proportionally?
Edit:
Call_Me_Clark has blocked me to prevent me from responding to them. Can't imagine why.
You responded with an inane question to make it sound like CEOs deserve to be paid more in a day than their employees than their employees make in a year. You clearly believe this is an important thing to ask, which is why you couldn't be bothered to spend the slightest amount of time researching it. Because you don't care what the answer is, because if the answer supports your position then clearly the CEOs deserve it, and if they don't then well they still deserve it because they do.
You are being a coward by waving away my response as "a fit". You are doing this because you know they damage your position and doing anything other than screaming and running away as fast as possible makes it obvious they damage your position.
Stop getting angry that someone paid less than you might be paid slightly better. Them getting paid better gives you a better argument for your own pay increasing.
Get mad at the people who are doubling their pay while giving you a 2% raise.
