The internet has long been touted as the future of America’s economy.
But it’s the internet that has been blamed for a lot of what’s wrong with the country today.
As it turns out, the internet is only part of the problem.
A new study by the Center for American Progress found that one of the biggest drivers of economic inequality is the way the internet affects the wages of the average American worker.
It found that nearly one in three working-age adults without college degrees earn less than $12,000 per year, and nearly a quarter of those with degrees earn between $15,000 and $19,999.
That’s a pretty big gap.
But while the study doesn’t address the specific causes of that gap, the results are pretty troubling.
“Income inequality has been on the rise for decades, but it seems like it’s gotten a little bit more extreme since 2015,” said Jennifer Granick, a senior policy analyst at CAP, in a statement.
“This isn’t a surprise because this is something we’ve seen across the country, in particular in the South.
In fact, it’s been quite a few years now that inequality in the American economy has been particularly bad, and it’s going to get even worse in the coming years.”
The report also noted that the vast majority of those earning less than the median wage are in low-wage industries like retail, restaurants, and construction.
That means a lot more of the economy is concentrated in those sectors, and they have more to lose if we don’t change the way we think about how to deliver services.
“The only way to truly address inequality in this economy is to fix the distributional issue, which means creating jobs,” Granick said.
“And there are a lot smarter ways to do that.”
So what can we do to make sure that inequality isn’t growing as fast as it is now?
Granick and her co-authors, Mark Perry and Sarah Anderson, spent years analyzing the wage gap in a variety of different ways.
They found that the typical American worker earns roughly half as much as the average worker in other countries, but that gap is getting bigger.
Their research found that about 60 percent of the wage disparity is due to the fact that the average person in America makes less than a middle-class person in other advanced economies.
This gap is widening as the country’s middle class grows, so it’s important that we stop it from getting worse in order to have an economy that can compete with the rest of the world.
Perry and Anderson also found that inequality tends to increase over time, but the gap in 2016 was significantly higher than the gap of 2011, when they looked at data for all workers.
This means that there are still ways we can make the economy more equitable.
In order to get to that point, we need to fix how we distribute income, whether through a universal basic income or through tax reform.
And we also need to be investing in infrastructure and education to make it more affordable for all of us to do our jobs, especially those who have been left behind by the economy.
“Wealthy people have a disproportionate share of income, and that inequality is growing, so we need policies to create jobs for them, and investments to help people who are already struggling,” Granik said.
