Frequent share buybacks.
Forcing the value of shares to go up, thus increasing the value of executives shares. -
It could be but that chart doesn't give you that information. Looking it up, labour's share of national income has recovered to pre-crisis levels over the last few years (figure 4) so I don't see the evidence that corporate profits are taking a bigger share of GDP.

Good charts although #8 is just showing the difference between aggregate and per capita, right? It will be interesting to see how / if any of this reverses as zero interest rates unwind.
