Pew Reasearch has released data on their inequality study. They have put together a "5 facts primer". Here are the 5 topics:
- By one measure, U.S. income inequality is the highest it’s been since 1928.
- The U.S. is more unequal than most of its developed-world peers.
- The black-white income gap in the U.S. has persisted.
- Americans are relatively unconcerned about the wide income gap between rich and poor.
- Wealth inequality is even greater than income inequality.
