A group of U.S. chief executive officers earned 140 times more last year than the median workers at their companies, according to a survey that gives a first glimpse of newly required pay ratio disclosures.

Workers at the 356 public companies included in the study received $60,000 in median compensation, Equilar Inc. said in the report released Thursday, which didn’t include CEO pay figures.
