1. Interesting...
My wife works at Progressive, and apparently their company has one of the lowest CEO salary/ average salary ratios in the fortune 500. I still think he is paid too much, but it's still a good thing.

5. I'd have to work 425 years
I would have to work 425 years to equal one year of the CEO's salary. Or, a mere 419 years to equal the yearly salary of the COO.
