"For a quarter century after World War II, Americans grew more prosperous and less unequal. Families in every fifth of the nation's income distribution saw their incomes double. Families in the bottom fifth actually gained income at a faster pace than those at the top. The last quarter-century is a profoundly different story. The top fifth gained while the bottom fifth lost real income. Income inequality reached record levels in the 1990s."
"Divided Decade . . ."
