American works are taking home a smaller percentage of corporate profits than ever before. Employee compensation as a % of corporate GDP has fallen to ~54%, the lowest since records began in 1948. In other words, workers are receiving ~54% of the income generated by corporations, while the remaining ~46% goes to profits, interest, taxes, depreciation, and other corporate income components. At the same time, US corporate profits as a % of GDP are up to ~11.5%, the highest on record. Since 2001, employee compensation as a % of corporate GDP has declined -10 points. Over the same period, the corporate profits proportion of GDP has doubled. Workers are keeping less of what they produce than at any point in history.
