Wealth inequality in the USA

 

 In 2009 $54 trillion dollars was divided among just 311 Americans. The average CEO is earning 380 times more than the average employee (not the lowest paid employee – the average one).80 per cent of Americans only have seven per cent of the wealth between them. The bottom 40 per cent of Americans barely have any of the wealth at all.
