Average Fortune 500 CEO Now Paid 380 Times As Much As The Average Worker

"The ratio of CEO-to-worker pay between CEOs of the S&P 500 Index companies and U.S. workers widened to 380 times in 2011 from 343 times in 2010. Back in 1980, the average large company CEO only received 42 times the average worker’s pay." I can remember complaining about this when it was 70 times. How many workers would the inflated pay of a CEO employ?
