Statistics on income disparity
Can anyone point me to actual statistics on the growing income disparity in the US and how it has grown in this decade? I'm doing research and had the link last week and seemed to have accidentally deleted it from my paper. I tried to recreate it by searching Census data but no luck.
Thanks.

3. If you have an account through your school
I always start with Jstor, otherwise try Project Muse economic journals.
I have used the CIA factbook as a jumping off place for some of my papers too, and the UN website has some info. Hope this helps:)

that came out on Saturday.
