US NEWS FINANCE The 10 Most Overpaid Jobs
By Rick Newman
Jobs are hard to come by these days. Raises are puny. It's getting harder to get ahead, as most workers know.
But some employees still report to Easy Street when they punch in.
While average incomes have fallen during the last few years, CEO pay has continued to rise. Other executives and specialists with key skills earn top dollar, especially if they're willing to live on airplanes and make other tradeoffs that globalization demands. Some companies may even be willfully overpaying certain workers, since aggressive downsizing has left them more dependent than ever on fewer people.
