One way to think about income inequality is to compare a group’s share of earners to its share of earnings. For ex, men are 51% of earners in IDDA but receive 61% of income (gap of+10 ppts). Hispanic earners are 15.4% but earn 11.5% (gap of -3.9 ppts). https://bit.ly/46XR1Fu

Earning a college degree has been a path to higher wages for a very long time. But for last 20 years, the gap in wages of college-educated and HS–educated workers has plateaued. Read our new article about research from Bengali, Valletta, & Zhao: https://bit.ly/4mUUNaZ
