That's not a pay gap - it's a reflection of an economy where too much of the wealth created by workers flows to the top! #runawayinequality
CEOs now make 325 times what a typical worker makes.
In 1965 it was 21 times.
Nothing about CEOs got 15 times more valuable. They just got 15 times richer.

That's a lot of jobs!
Where exactly are the clean energy rollbacks hitting hardest? Let’s look at the damage across domestic manufacturing, battery storage, solar, and wind:
🔋Battery Storage:
-Over 42k annual jobs gone.
-Nearly 64k long-term jobs wiped out.
🚘 Electric Vehicles (EVs):
-EV-related projects account for the single largest long-term blow, with nearly 255k annual operational jobs no longer supported.
-Another 28k annual construction jobs vanished.
😎 Solar Power:
-Nearly 33k annual construction jobs lost.
We are actively defunding the exact domestic industries we need for American 🇺🇸energy independence.

Tax cuts for billionaires and corporate CEOs don’t help working people and they never will. It’s about time the wealthy and powerful paid their fair share.

How workers die. Forklift incidents, falls, drowning, train derailment, shooting, firefighting, vehicle incidents.
On average, over 100 workers are killed every week in the US due to traumatic injuries suffered at work. jordanbarab.com/confinedspac… via @jbarab
