There has been much attention given to income inequality within the U.S. labor market, especially recently. From the huge amount of discussion and debate about wage inequality (from both the political left and the right), two salient points emerge: that the U.S. labor market shows a far more unequal distribution of wages than the labor markets of other developed countries, and that the overall U.S. wage structure has become dramatically more unequal over the past several decades. We were ill-equipped to investigate the first claim but sought to thoroughly analyze the second, paying particular attention to the components of wage inequality—and their relative importance—in recent years. To accomplish this, we performed several statistical analyses on survey data from the U.S. Census Bureau (we did not use any data from other countries for either analysis or comparison). Our results do indeed confirm the second claim; by every single measurement we used, wages are far more unequal today than they were in the past. In particular, the top few percentiles have made large gains over the past forty years, while most other workers’ wages have been nearly stagnant.
