That’s an important “or”. It’s not always scarcity, it’s often the perceived value. CEOs are just one of many examples where the pay is not at all because of scarcity.

Are there really that many people capable and willing to work as CEO? From my experience there are never enough good managers.

I meant to add 'perceived' on value, and the 'scarcity' aspect can play in to the perception of value too.
