Another wage ratio that seems to be catching steam is the compensation ratio of executive pay to lowest and/or median paid employee. This allows you to compare wage disparity and income inequality to whatever generation or year you would like. It also provides a glowing example of how capitalism has become a rigged, runaway train that most favors the rich and elite.
