CEO wage depends on company size: big companies are willing to pay A LOT for a CEO which screws up with 1% less chance. Other jobs (be it janitor, software engineer) don't scale up as much with company size, since the single tasks remain the same.

So a big reason CEO wages grew is that companies became massive.
