The study shows that the top 1 percent of housholds saw its after-tax income grow by 275 percent over the last 30 years. By contrast, the bottom 60 percent saw their ernings increase 40 percent, while the poor in the bottom 20 percent saw only an 18 percent jump. It paints of unbioased portrait on income inequality that is relevant and disturbing and shows why the “Occupy Wall Street” movement has picked up steam.
