Abstract: The major purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis that government employment and family income inequality are inversely related. A secondary purpose is to determine whether influences discovered in earlier studies retain their power to explain inequality. Unlike most previous work but following Farbman (1973), the data for the empirical tests reported were were stratified into southern and non-southern regions.
