That would be interesting as I expect the gap to be with larger firms with more politics and administrative overhead in general. Far as skill, I'm not saying they're unskilled so much as not that much more skilled than managers or specialists that make tiny fractions of what they make.
Goldman Sachs is so unusual I wouldn't use them for extrapolating general trends. They do hire tons of people much smarter than their CEO to do the work that leads to CEO's decisions but make way less. It fits my model as a data point. They do pay some of their clever employees small fortunes a lot more than some other companies, though. They also lobby Congress and infiltrate regulators which is how they negotiated the bailout. They're more scheming that most creating wage gaps. On a whole, nother level of creating problems. ;)
Btw, been a long time. Hope you've been doing well, Jeffrey.
