Rising Inequality Not a Surge at the Top

Lane Kenworthy ()

Challenge, 2004, vol. 47, issue 5, 51-55

Abstract: In a brief reminder of what the data show, this sociologist demonstrates that incomes at the top have been growing no faster since 1980 than they did in earlier decades--and in some cases more slowly. Instead, greater inequality is a consequence of stagnation of incomes for middle- and lower-level families.
