The surprising post-pandemic drop in income inequality
Income inequality appears to have fallen in the years following the pandemic, a reversal of long-running trends toward wider gaps between rich and poor. Analysts point to tight labor markets and wage growth at the lower end of the pay scale as likely drivers, though the durability of the shift remains debated.
