Affluent, Older Americans Grew Far Wealthier After the Pandemic
Original: Affluent and Older Americans Got Much Richer in Postpandemic Years
A Wall Street Journal report finds that wealth gains in the years since the pandemic were concentrated among affluent and older Americans, widening gaps by age and income. The analysis suggests rising asset values and market gains disproportionately benefited households that already held significant wealth, while younger and less wealthy Americans saw far smaller improvements in their financial position.
Why now: Rising inequality and household wealth data are drawing attention as economic conditions remain a top concern for voters.
