Excerpts:

"It turns out that the good times are even better than we thought for  
American chief executives."

“ 'What is of more concern to shareholders is that it looks like  
C.E.O. pay is recovering faster than company fortunes,' says Paul  
Hodgson, chief communications officer for GovernanceMetrics  
International, a ratings and research firm."

"And it’s not as if most workers are getting fat raises. The average  
American worker was taking home $752 a week in late 2010, up a mere  
0.5 percent from a year earlier. After inflation, workers were  
actually making less. "
