[lbo-talk] Income gap grows between white, black families in US

[Doug Henwood]

This study is interesting and important because it follows the same  
people over time instead of using cross sectional snapshots of the  
entire population. Snapshots, like the yearly Census income and  
poverty data, are informative, but they don't really tell you how  
people live. No one experiences a median directly. This study,  
though, does tell you something about how people live, and it's not  
pretty.
