CEO vs. worker pay: Walmart, McDonald’s, and eight other firms with biggest gaps

Worker pay has been a big story in 2013, with worker strikes in the retail and fast-food industries putting a harsh light on anemic wage gains alongside ballooning corporate profits. Now, a new study from NerdWallet and Glassdoor.com highlights just how vast the wage gap is in major US companies, comparing how much the United States' highest-paid chief executives make in an hour with the average hourly wage of their employees. Can you guess which company had the highest pay gap?

I won't cut and paste the whole article here but will list the 10 companies where the gap is widest and in the order they appear in the piece.

10. AT&T
9. Best Buy
8. CVS Caremark
7. WalMart
6. Target
5. TJ Maxx
4. Gap Inc.
3. Dollar General
2. Starbucks
1. McDonalds
