The average pay for a CEO of a company in the Northwest is $3.6 million!


We are Working Washington

Did you see this in the news the other day? The average pay for a CEO of a company in the Northwest is $3.6 million!

That’s about $10,000 per day. Every day. All year.

It’s more in a week than the average worker in our state gets paid in a year.

Sounds like a lot, right?

Well… not to everyone: more than 3 in 4 CEOs & Board members think that CEOs are getting the “correct level” of pay.

What do you think:

Is $3.6 million the right amount to pay an average CEO?

thumbs-upYES, $3.6 million sounds just right.

thumbs-up
NO, $3.6 million is too much.

exploding head
ACTUALLY, what if $3.6 million isn’t enough…

Thanks for letting us know what you think!

P.S. Don’t you wonder how many of these CEOs think $3.6 million is right for them but $15/hour is too much for us?

You seriously won’t wanna ignore this →


Last week attendees at the DEF CON hacker convention in Las Vegas proved that it is possible to hack into our election computer systems in a matter of minutes.

That’s an enormous flaw in our democracy’s technology – but the good news is that we can solve the problem.

Oregon-style vote by mail is a solution that will increase voting security and accessibility

There are many great reasons vote by mail should be adopted nationally – and protecting the integrity of our voting systems is a big one!

We need to spread the word and protect our democracy – share this post on Facebook!
