Jenkeissä ongelmana on vain se että mikään noista ei takaa että asiat olisi kansalla hyvin.
Täystyöllisyys on tietysti kiva juttu, mutta vaikka tekisit minimipalkalla kolmea työtä päivässä niin tilastossa se näyttää hyvältä mutta elät todennäköisesti silti köyhyydessä.
Vaikka talous laukkaa ja on täystyöllisyyttä niin alimman 10% tulot ovat tippuneet ja tuloerot jatkavat kasvuaan, joten ei ole mitenkään yllättävää että osalla porukkaa menee entistä huonommin vaikka talous porskuttaisi.
"At the 10th percentile, 10% of the households had income at or below $15,660 in 2021, a decline of 4.4% from 2020 ($16,386).
However, at the 90th percentile, 10% of households in 2021 had income above $211,956, not statistically different from the 2020 estimate of $211,438.
The ratio of the 90th- to 10th-percentile increased from 12.90 in 2020 to 13.53 in 2021. That means income at the top of the income distribution was 13.53 times higher than income at the bottom, a 4.9% increase from 2020.
In addition, the ratio of the 50th- to 10th-percentile (inequality between the middle and bottom of the income distribution) also increased — up 4.0% from 4.34 in 2020 to 4.52 in 2021.
Meanwhile, the ratio of the 90th- to 50th-percentile (inequality between the top and middle of the income distribution) was not significantly different over this period, further indicating that inequality did not change in the upper end of the income distribution. "
U.S. Census Bureau’s income data released today show widening income inequality from 2020 to 2021.
