VERBATIM: The typical compensation package for chief executives who run S&P 500 companies rose just 0.9% last year, to a median of $14.8 million.

Still, that’s unlikely to silence mounting criticism that CEO pay has become excessively high and the imbalance between company bosses and rank-and-file workers too wide.
