Forbes Top 10 CEO salaries in consumer goods market 2011

Forbes Top 10 CEO salaries in consumer goods market 2011 : The Great Recession is finally over! That statement may not ring true for the majority of Americans, but it does for chief executives from the 500 biggest companies in the United States, according to a recent report from Forbes. After all, they got a collective pay raise of 16 percent in 2011 to $5.2 billion. This compares with a 3 percent pay raise for the average American worker; a finding that Forbes says will only fuel the outrage over corporate greed.
