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

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
