      Yeah I’m doing work today so I can get you the exact figure. So this is kind of a composite of different research as we have two points here:

      • heightened pay disparity leads to all the outcomes I described earlier (Wilkinson, R. & Pickett, K. 2020; Bloom, 1999; Bloom & Michel, 2002)
      • research assessing what this level of disparity looks like in companies for CEO pay (n= 55,238, 45 countries sampled) shows that individuals roughly find justifiable pay should be between 5-10x the lowest paid employee. So if you have your lowest paid employee making 75k the CEO should only make a maximum of 750k to keep a level of perceived equity. (Kiatpongsan & Norton, 2014)
