CEO salary transparency caused a rapid increase in C-level compensation, nearly 10 fold as it became a public race. https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-pay-in-

  Hmmm. They are graphing the data since 1965. Did equity options even exist then? Because they make up almost all of CEO pay these days. Wal-Mart CEO made $1.2 million in salary last year and the rest were stock options awards. If you stay consistent, CEO salary has probably increased very little since 1965. Either way I can't detect a causal link between c-level pay and salary disclosures. The CEO hiring market has always been quite small and I find it hard to believe that CEOs in the 1960s and 70s were getting taken advantage of and being underpaid

      You literally just linked to the same website in the comment I replied to. You added nothing to the conversation.
