BOSSES at Britain’s biggest firms still earn 117 times more than a typical worker — despite a 13 per cent fall.
Chief executives at FTSE 100 firms trousered an average £3.46million in 2018, down from £3.97million the year before.

The average worker earned £29,574, said the High Pay Centre and Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
It would take a FTSE firm chief just three days to earn the same amount.
Of the 100 bosses, 43 saw their salary increase.
The research found 64 per cent of workers agree that CEO pay is too high.
TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said: “This shocking pay gap won’t change without major reform.
“We need new rules to give workers seats on executive pay committees.
“This would help bring some much-needed common sense and fairness to boardroom pay.”
