Peer reviewedGrubb, W. Norton; Wilson, Robert H. – Monthly Labor Review, 1992
Earnings inequality in the United States rose in the late 1960s, stabilized for the most part in the 1970s, and began to grow again in the 1980s. The recent increase arises from changes in labor demand and not from demographic characteristics of U.S. workers. (Author)
