Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.
They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time.
