According to the Economics Policy Institute (Mishel and Wolfe, 2019) CEO pay has grown 940% since 1978 while the compensation of the average worker has only risen 12%. While you can easily find sources that provide statistics that conflict with these numbers, you would be hard pressed to find any credible source that refutes the idea that the rate of pay of CEO’s and other upper-level managers has not dramatically increased relative to an organization’s lower-level employees in just about any 10 or more year period over the past 60 years. In the world of Adam Smith, the “invisible hand” of the free market capitalistic model would address inequities/out of balances. Are the forces represented by the “invisible hand” working? Why or why not? Is there an ethical dimension to the discussion of upper-level manager compensation? Why or why not? How does (or does it?) levels of pay of upper management impact the rest of us commoners?
Gerald Scully estimated the difference between player pay and player revenue production. Briefly explain why and how he did this and describe his results.
Jane is the General Manager at a new café and wants to hire a few baristas.  The going rate for baristas is $15 per hour.  Jane has heard that many of the local coffee shops have high turnover with baristas “ghosting” them – simply not showing up for their shifts and never coming back.  Jane starts to put together an advertisement to hire baristas for $15 per hour, but changes her mind and lists the wages she will pay at $20 per hour.  Why would Jane pay $15 per hour?  What’s her rationale for paying $20 (or any wage higher than $15)?
