I thought you might find this little snippet from the Canadian Business Special Issue: Outlook 2011 inspiring as you begin your work week:
The country’s best-paid CEOs earned an average of $6.6 million in 2009, according to a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. The average salary fell from $7.3 million in 2008, but is still far above the typical Canadian income of $42,9888.
And … wait for it ….
By 2:30 p.m. on the first working day of the year, the CEOs had already earned that amount.
Yep, you read that right. By 2:30 pm on the first day, a CEO had earned an average Canadian’s entire year’s salary.
(What? You didn’t know I had a cruel sense of humour … okay, now you do.)
