A recent analysis by Oxfam and the International Trade Union Confederation reveals that CEO pay soared by 54% from 2019 to 2025, while global worker compensation declined by 12%, translating to 108 days of unpaid labor. In 2025, the average CEO earned $8.4 million, up from $7.6 million in 2024. The disparity is particularly stark in the United States, where CEO pay increased 20.4 times faster than that of workers. Billionaires, on average, earned $2,500 per second in dividends, highlighting the growing wealth gap. The report also noted a 16% gender pay gap among the top 1,500 corporations surveyed. Calls for action include capping CEO pay, fairly taxing the wealthy, and ensuring minimum wages keep pace with inflation to create a more equitable economy. Luc Triangle, general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation, criticized the current system as a 'vicious cycle' benefiting mega-corporations at the expense of workers.
