Emmanuel Saez uses IRS data to show that the top one percent of earners is doing better than ever while the bottom 99 percent are marginally better off since the recession.

Peter Lindert and Jeffrey Williamson use historical data to show that U.S. income inequality is nearing the highest point in U.S. history.

Also, despite some gains, a Pew Research Center study shows that race and gender income gaps persist.
