Income Inequality
UN: Financial Inequality Rapidly Grows in US
A new United Nations report has revealed major US cities, including
New York, Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans, have levels of economic
inequality that rival cities in Africa. The report found that the
United States had the highest inequality and poverty after Mexico and
Turkey, and the gap has increased rapidly since 2000. The life
expectancy of African Americans in the United States is about the same
as that of people living in China and some states of India.
