According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.

At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.

The CDC is actively involved in protecting the homeland. One of the most important ways we do that is through participation in WHO’s Global Outbreak and Response Network.
