Maggie Liu on 30 Jan 15"Income inequality refers to the extent to which income is distributed in an uneven manner among a population. In the United States, income inequality, or the gap between the rich and everyone else, has been growing markedly, by every major statistical measure, for some 30 years." This article talks about the gap between the rich and the poor. It says that the wealthiest people had a national income of 23.5% in 2007, and the Great Recession followed. This is similar to the Great Depression. This shows that income inequality can impact the whole country and should be considered a big problem.

In the United States, income inequality, or the gap between the rich and everyone else, has been growing markedly, by every major statistical measure, for some 30 years." This article gives an in-depth description of the issue of income inequality, comparing different income-related statistics to those of earlier decades. It also informs of how this issue is progressively becoming less of a problem, but still needs to be addressed.
