Pew Reasearch has released data on their inequality study. They have put together a "5 facts primer". Here are the 5 topics:

  1. By one measure, U.S. income inequality is the highest it’s been since 1928.
  2. The U.S. is more unequal than most of its developed-world peers.
  3. The black-white income gap in the U.S. has persisted.
  4. Americans are relatively unconcerned about the wide income gap between rich and poor.
  5. Wealth inequality is even greater than income inequality.
