Inflated

As I said from my prior blog post, I had to take a 2nd job to earn extra income.  This position is working in, or more specifically, around a professional sports team's stadium.  My other position, the money maker, is working for a large financial organization.  Both of these companies have something very organizationally similar, there exist many low wage workers who perform the menial, yet necessary tasks surrounding the operations of both organizations, while there also exists many top levels of the organizations who make CEO pay, which according to my memory of the statistic, has risen 725% while inflation only has only raised the level of those low level employees.

Obviously those higher level employees have numerous qualities that deem a much higher salary.

But does that mean that those on the lower levels of the companies hierarchy should make significantly less and live as such.  100k plus in debt is one thing but most can barely live on such a salary. 

Another misquote(I do need to start linking these articles), I read that I believe it was the Mcdonald's CEO stated and provided a budget for low level workers to live a normal life on.  This budget so conveniently had this worker working 2 separate jobs.

Funny, with an MBA, a Penn State undergrad degree, and 100k plus, I also have 2 jobs.
