Reply to comment by chaandra in Inequality in annual earnings worsens in 2021: Top 1% of earners get a larger share of the earnings pie while the bottom 90% lose ground by sillychillly
If more people are being lifted out of poverty over time, that’s a good thing. This doesn’t show the numbers of wage earners, it just shows the percentages of wage earners. If the numbers in each group is growing, there are more people in the top 1 % earning more money. Same applies for each percentile. Even in the lower percentiles, if there are more people earning, that’s a good thing for everybody.
