LA TIMES - INCOME INEQUITY - OTHER CITIES WORSE THAN LA!
"The upper 5% of Los Angeles residents earned more than 12 times what the bottom 20% took in, Alan Barube, who studies social policies affecting low-income families for the Brookings Institution, said in a paper. The income spread was similar in New York City, Washington, Oakland, Chicago and Baltimore, he added.
The inequality gap is even worse in San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami and Boston, where big earners made 15 times more than the bottom-income bracket, Barube said. His analysis was based on 2012 U.S. Census figures."
OUR QUESTION IS HOW MANY OF THOSE UPPER INCOME PEOPLE ARE MOVIE STARS?
