Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
The gap between executive pay and the average salary has skyrocketed during the nineties, and some critics say the inequity is damaging — to the corporationa and to the economy as a whole. Recently executive compensation has increased even more because of competition among companies for the best talent. A panel talks about the growth of executive salaries and other compensation, and how it affects those at other levels of pay.
