Economic growth is shared unevenly among workers. The gap between high-end pay and median earnings is a key factor. Research suggests that a widening gap can limit economic benefits for most workers.

A study analyzed wage data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The analysis covered the 50 states over a two-year period. It focused on the wage level that marks the top 10% of earners.

Further details on the study's findings are available, including which areas are experiencing increased or decreased wage inequality. The research provides insight into the complex relationship between wages and economic growth.
