    Event Overview

    Income inequality continues to rise in the US. The top 10% in the US earn above $150,000 annually and have over $1 million in assets. Low income families, by contrast, earn an average of $31,000 per year and have negligible assets.

    Gender and race are key drivers of persistent wage gaps. People who work in the gig economy – overwhelmingly immigrants – earn as little as $7 per hour. Intergenerational mobility, a key driver of wealth, has dropped over the past four decades. And there is a fear that technology will create wider wage gaps.

    Speakers this week will tackle each of these issues and offer policy recommendations for narrowing the wage gap.
