| THE good times keep rolling for ''slash and burn'' managers in America. Bosses of the 50 US companies that sacked the most staff during the recession earned 42 per cent more than their peers, new research shows.
A report by the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington concludes chief executives shared little of the pain felt further down their workforces as house prices slumped, consumer spending dried up and unemployment peaked at 10.2 per cent last year.
The average leader of an S&P 500 company saw a modest fall in remuneration last year, down from $US9.4 million ($10.5 million) in 2008 to $US8.4 million. But this was still 263 times the typical net pay of a worker.
