Summary
Without income inequality — or if wages continued to increase at the same rate as overall GDP, like they did in the '50s and '60s — the median salary would have between $92,000 to $102,000 for a full-time employee.The median income right now is half that, at $50,000. "During this time period, only the very top of the income distribution saw growth that matched or outpaced the real per capita GDP rate of the same timeframe."Americans are working harder than ever, and the country has the world's richest economy.But most people are still broke.
