21. By international standards, even 1950's rate is high.

However, according to this CNBC report https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/22/heres-how-much-ceo-pay-has-increased-compared-to-yours-over-the-years.html , CEO pay in the top 350 US companies is 271 times the average worker's salary, down slightly from a high of 299 in 2014, but stacking up quite nicely against a 1978 figure of 30 times.

So I wonder where the OP's source got his figures.
