It is total bull that controlling for education and marital status wipes out the gap, it simply shrinks it a tad. The data shows clearly that the gap is increasing and the majority of wealth is disgustingly concentrated in the upper 95th percentile...what utter BS!

I would be interested in any research that identifies drivers of inequality in the USA. Any links or references to papers showing what produces the USA's high level of inequality (compared to other rich countries) or inequaity's research in the past few decades would be great. thanks Garry Samantha

It is driven by education levels and out of wedlock households. When adjusting for education and out of wedlock households we see a sharp reduction in the disparity in income distribution. I would suggest that more time and attention be given to these factors and less time to authoritative assertions made by this blog. Income inequality in the US is simple to understand.
